Carex abscondita
Thicket sedge (Carex abscondita) is a North American tussock-forming perennial sedge that grows from a rhizome and suits moist woodland edges and shade. Keep its soil consistently moist and it will form a neat clump.
Carex abscondita, the thicket sedge, is a North American species of sedge first described by Kenneth Mackenzie in 1910.
It grows along the central and eastern United States, from eastern Texas to southern Missouri, east to the Atlantic coast, and north to New Hampshire. It grows in moist areas of forests, flood plains, shrublands, and swamps.
