Glaucous sedge is a perennial sedge characterized by its striking cool-season growth habit. It boasts silver-blue evergreen foliage reaching 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 cm) in height. The leaves are narrow, approximately 3/16 inch (5 mm) wide, with a distinct blue-green upper surface and a more uniform gray-blue on the underside, giving the plant a predominantly blue appearance. When flowering in early summer, it produces inconspicuous flowers that blend into its clean aesthetic. Glaucous sedge displays moderate drought resistance once established and spreads through runners.
