Carex grayii (Cyperaceae)
(CARE-eks GRAY-eye)
Gray's Sedge

In May, showy seed heads shaped like spiked balls, or maces, top Gray's Sedge, and as they dry, they continue to provide interest throughout the gardening season. This eastern North American, clump-forming Carex has medium-green, grassy leaves that form a soft mound 2-3' tall. Plant in a moist location, in shade or part sun. Good for naturalizing in wet areas.
