Carex cherokeensis
Carex cherokeensis, also known as Cherokee sedge, is native to the southeastern and south-central United States. It forms attractive clumps of fine-textured, narrow, grass-like, deep green leaves that slowly spread. While the greenish-white flowers in spring are not very noticeable, the wheat-like seed spikes that mature in autumn add visual interest.
Choose medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade to grow it. This plant thrives in moist soils but also does well in average garden soils. In late winter, cut the foliage to the ground and remove it.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
