Brome Sedge is a tussock-forming sedge with fine, airy foliage and gently arching leaves. Native to wet woodlands, bogs and moist meadows, it tolerates periods of shallow standing water, and is best grown in evenly moist or wet soils. Light shade with plenty of organic matter is ideal
Brome Sedge is a tussock-forming sedge with fine, airy foliage and gently arching leaves. Native to wet woodlands, bogs and moist meadows, it tolerates periods of shallow standing water, and is best grown in evenly moist or wet soils. Light shade with plenty of organic matter is ideal. The dried remnants of older leaf blades persist around the base, and over time will contribute to the formation of the tussock. Found growing East of the Mississippi, Brome Sedge is most common in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and the Great Lakes Region. Typical habitats include vernal pools and seeps in wooded areas, on the edges of marshes, and sedge meadows.
Growth Habit Common brome sedge eventually forms a raised crown, and the centers may begin to thin after several years, particularly in sunnier locations. This can be remedied by lifting and dividing the plant in spring or fall.
General Care Plants should not be allowed to dry out. If planted in a sunny area, make sure they have consistently moist soil.
Native plants can be grown outside of their native range in the appropriate growing conditions. This map shows the native range, as well as the introduced range, of this species.
