Carex

Carex is a large genus of grass-like plants in the family Cyperaceae, with over 2,000 species distributed worldwide. The plants are commonly known as sedges and are highly valued as ornamental plants in gardens and landscapes due to their attractive foliage and low-maintenance requirements.

Sedges are typically clumping plants that form dense tufts of arching, grass-like leaves that come in a wide range of colors, textures, and sizes. Some species also produce flowers in the form of spikes or clusters of small, inconspicuous blooms. Sedges prefer moist soil and can tolerate a range of light conditions, from full sun to shade.
