The Underrated Native

Written by Jake Sberna, Cincinnati Nature Center Native Plant Manager

Native grasses and sedges certainly do not get as much attention as the many colorful native wildflower species but perhaps understanding their ecological value will pique your interest as you’re planning what to plant.

Like wildflowers, native grasses and sedges are adapted to the local climate—they require less maintenance and provide a habitat for beneficial insects and other wildlife. Their deep root systems improve soil structure, increase water retention, and prevent erosion. They can also add aesthetic value to a garden by creating a more naturalistic planting design and providing texture, movement, and interest, particularly in the winter.
