A fine-textured native sedge with delicate, arching foliage that brings movement and elegance to garden beds and borders. Indigenous to Illinois and the Midwest, James sedge thrives in moist, well-drained soil and partial shade, making it ideal for woodland gardens, rain gardens, and shaded perennial combinations. Its compact, clumping habit and year-round interest provide structure without overwhelming neighboring plants. Perfect for adding softness and visual flow to native plant landscapes and restoration projects.
