Sedges

Sedges sagem

The Species Production Guides for sedges and rushes provide specific information about growing each of these species for seed production. 

Scroll the list (alphabetized by scientific name) or press ctrl-f (or command-f) to search for any name in this page. 

A printable file (pdf) is also provided on each species page for those needing a print version.

This section is a work in progress. We will continue to add new species guides as they are completed.
