This is the second episode of the Deeper Dive series...be sure to check out the first episode on perennials I use frequently. In this video, I explore the benefits of incorporating sedges into your garden and how they can help create a sustainable and low-maintenance landscape.

Sedges are a versatile group of plants that are often overlooked in traditional garden design. However, they are a fantastic addition to any garden, with their unique textures, colors, and growth habits. In other words, a living mulch! Incorporate sedges into your landscape to help manage water runoff, control erosion, and reduce the need for excessive watering and fertilization.

A favorite book on sedges:
