Pennsylvania Sedge
Carex pensylvanica
With fine texture and slowly spreading habit, Pennsylvania Sedge is lauded for its use as a lawn replacement. While excellent alone as a soft, low growing carpet in dry shade, it also contrasts elegantly with the color and foliage of ferns and wildflowers. Deer resistant and versatile, it is a winner in any shade garden.
