Northeastern Sedge is a native perennial that forms attractive clumps of narrow, arching green leaves. It is found in wet meadows, marshes, open woodlands, and along stream edges. Its fine texture makes it useful in rain gardens, wetland plantings, and naturalized borders. It can tolerate seasonal flooding. It forms clumps rather than aggressively spreading. You can divide established clumps in spring if needed. It does not perform well in dry soil.
