Pennsylvania Sedge (Carex pensylvanica)

With delicate fountains of fine foliage, this sedge makes a lovely groundcover, especially in dappled light. It prefers moist to dry soil in shade or part sun. It is often used as a lawn substitute, since it works well where grass does not grow under tree. As with all sedges, it is deer resistant, provides cover and seed for wildlife, and is a host plant for various butterflies. $10
