Carex testacea, or Orange Sedge, is a fine way to add some unexpected color and texture to damp spots in your garden that get plenty of sunlight. Blade-like leaves are green at the base, and fade to persimmon orange at the tips. Orange sedge will reseed, but is not so aggressive that invasiveness is a concern. Carex testacea is evergreen, very cold hardy (down to 20ºF) and its distinctive orange is brightest in the winter months. Plant Orange Sedge where you have a sunny but persistently damp patch of soil, right down to the water’s edge of a pond.
