Rethink Runoff Stream Team

Often found in moist, shaded areas, Gray Sedge is a native, grass-like plant that grows 2 to 3 feet tall.

☔ Its dense, clumping root system helps stabilize soil and reduce erosion, especially in areas where water tends to move through or collect.

☁️ Gray Sedge prefers partial shade and moist soils and is moderately salt-tolerant, making it a good option near driveways or walkways.
