Appalachian sedge (Carex apalachica)

Fallen fruit can be messy if not harvested

Dense clusters of small fragrant lavender-pink to lavender flowers bloom from summer well into fall attracting butterflies

The flattened 5-petaled flowers are a vibrant papaya orange with a look of hand streaked dark purple on the petals and in the center and bloom from late spring throughout summer
