Lurid Sedge, also known as Sallow Sedge, is named after its vivid, yellow-green color. It maintains this color throughout the growing season and does not die back in the heat of summer, as long as it has consistent moisture. The semi-evergreen foliage persists through the winter months. It is a cool-season, clumping perennial that prefers to grow in moist or wet soils in part to full sun. It thrives in swampy areas, wet meadows and around bodies of water where it will spread by seed and by its fibrous, rhizomatous root system. The seeds provide food for birds and the plant is a larval host for many skippers and moths.
