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.

Also available in 12-packs of plugs here
