Very Pretty Sedge

We’ve had two different orders of Carex woodii. Both arrived in good condition, ready to plant. I lost a few plants to drought over this really dry summer, but I’m pleased with these. They fit in well where I need them and I expect they’ll do fine as they expand and fill in.

I’ve bought a lot of Carex, in several varieties from Natural Communities, and they’ve all been great.

The photos are of Carex planted approximately 5 months ago in a partially shaded area. They’re filling in nicely.

We planted 38 Common Arrowhead in our neighborhood pond in early June and they have doubled or tripled in size since then. Great roots, healthy plants! Amanda provided wonderful service and support. Thank you!

Natural communities shipped my seed quickly and it arrived it was very clean and I plan on using their advice on using it as a cover crop! I appreciate the bulk pricing that they provide both on the plants and the seed.
