Introduction
Rosy sedge, also called Carex rosea, Carex concoluta, and Carex flaccidula is a sedge that forms part of the Caperaceae family, which is in the major flowering plants group. It is native to eastern North America and it exists in wet to dry soils. Carex rosea can be found in shores of streams and bottomlands, as well as ponds. It is known to have great adaptations to dry-shade locations .
Description
Carex rosea flowers in the spring and it has evergreen leaves. The stigmas range from 0.07-0.10 millimeters thick , while the leaves are almost 1/8" wide. The spikelets found in the plant are widely spread rather than clustered together, and the culms consist of about 4-8 of them. Different sections of the spikelets consist of different parts. They look green because of the presence of 7-14 spreading perigynia. The overall average height is about 1 inch tall.
Taxonomy
Carex rosea consist of four different species. Most of them found mainly in Canada. While some characters seem to be unrelibale for the separation of each species. Other characters, like the width of the broadest leaves, the shape of the perigynium base, and the fertile culms, are reliable. Different analysis of the mixed populations have concluded that hybridization between the species does not occur .
Distribution and Habitat
Carex rosea has a distribution that goes from south to Georgia, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, basically all around North America. It's habitat is in dry- moist woodlands. It can adapt to various soil types and it can also live in rich ravines, and wood edges .
Ecology
Culture
Many times the plants that have allready been stablished are highly drought tolerant. Carex rosea is unappetizing to deer and other herbivores. It is recommende for the plant to be cut to the before the winter season starts. That way new growth for Carex rosea will be provided, if kept at gardens .
