Carex pensylvanica
Pennsylvania Sedge
Grown from seed
Semi-evergreen, perennial sedge; 6-12in tall
Puts on most of its growth in the cooler seasons; grows well in both full sun and full shade
Short, flowing foliage makes for excellent ground cover; acts as green mulch for nearby taller plants by cooling soil & outcompeting weeds
Deep roots prevent soil erosion & stablize hillsides
Songbirds, game birds, and small mammals forage on seeds in fall/winter
Spreads slowly via rhizomes, forming dense mats
