Carex pansa

Carex pansa is a member of the Sedge family. It is a grass-like perennial with triangular blades and clusters of dark brown nutlets as flowers.

Although this Sedge is sometimes recommended as a lawn substitute, it grows best in sandy soil, with regular water and no more than light foot traffic. Use Dune Sedge for coastal gardens with sandy soil and to create habitat for coastal wildlife.
