We are particularly excited to offer Carex cherokeensis as it has recently gained popularity as a meadow foundation planting. It not only has great aesthetic appeal but, it is also a well-behaved, contributing member within many designed plant communities. With the increased utility of this formerly under-used grass, we look forward to seeing its environmental wings stretched in site-specific locations. This is a plant on the rise!
C. cherokeensis prefers moist conditions but, tolerates some variables. It prefers some shade including dappled light from trees or even just reprieve from the heat of the afternoon sun. The inflorescence has been noted as insignificant but, we like the little wispy spikes that add a bit of interest in the spring. It can be evergreen in milder climates, a harsh cut back may harm. It is better to give a little light haircut to improve its appearance.
