Carex platyphylla, called the broad leaf sedge and silver sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex, native to southeast Canada, and the north-central and eastern United States.[2][3] It is often found in the same forests as Carex plantaginea, also a broad-leaved species, but they do not compete, as C. plantaginea prefers wet areas and C. platyphylla prefers it dry.[4] Silver sedge is considered a useful native ornamental, since it is showy, deer-resistant, and able to tolerate both deep shade and drought once established.[3]
