Often seen under the name “dune sedge” this native of the immediate west coast of North America spreads via short rhizomes eventually creating a carpet of lustrous green leaves. It’ll withstand long periods of summer drought. Excellent for containers, using as a tussock forming ground cover, or an exceedingly rough-and-tumble lawn substitute with low water. USDA zone 7, even 6, but may not remain as winter green. Sun or Shade.
