Sedges and Rushes
Table of Contents
The Species Production Guides for sedges and rushes provide specific information about growing each of these species for seed production, based primarily on direct experience in TPC production fields.
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 completed 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. At this time, two upland and three wetland Carex species are complete. Propagation of other species in these categories may be similar. The methods suggested for Carex bicknellii and C. molesta, for example, may be applied to other tufted, upland species such as C. brevior.
