Grown from seed

• Semi-evergreen, perennial sedge; 1-2’ tall

• Grows well in both full sun and full shade; tolerates wet to dry soils

• Short dense clumps make 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

• Can spread aggressively via rhizomes in disturbed soils
