Is Creeping broad-leaf sedge toxic to cats?

No — creeping broad-leaf sedge is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats. It is a sensible choice for a home with a cat; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. Carex siderosticha 'Variegata' is not listed on the ASPCA toxic plant database for dogs or cats. Sedges (Cyperaceae) are not known to contain toxic principles. This cultivar is frequently used in pet-accessible shade gardens and wildlife plantings without reported adverse effects on animals.

Yes — the ASPCA lists creeping broad-leaf sedge as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Creeping broad-leaf sedge is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full creeping broad-leaf sedge pet-safety guide for both species.
