What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. They are a great option for planting large gardens. We plant all of our own projects with plugs.

Prairie Sedge is a good companion plant in large, dry prairie gardens. Sedges are like grasses, but they are cool season growers, sprouting out of the ground as soon as the snow is gone and long before the warm season prairie grasses come out of dormancy. They provide much needed green growth early in the spring. Prairie Sedge has short leaves and lots of seed heads that flop over after maturing.

Design Tips

Prairie Sedge grows very early in the season and has taller seed stems that tend to splay out afterwards. Prairie Sedge (Carex brevior) is best planted in a large, dense gardens scattered in-between warm-season prairie grasses and flowers that can keep it from growing too vigorously and flop outwards.
