Carex pensylvanica
Sedge
Native to the US and Canada, Carex pensylvanica prefers drier soils than most other Carex species, although it will thrive in moist conditions with adequate drainage. The semi-evergreen leaves gracefully arch in a slow creeping mound that grows best in dappled to full shade.
