Carex pensylvanica Pennsylvania sedge (photo above) 

North American Native. An excellent ground cover. Foliage is soft and curls gently, turning pale brown for the winter.

This is a multi-talented group whose members shine as individuals or in masses. Carex can edge borders and fill containers. It can be "green mulch" or a lawn alternative. It looks, grows and sells like a grass, but it's actually a sedge, in the Cyperaceae family.

Carex appalachica

Fine-textured green foliage forms graceful clumps. An American native. Tolerates dry shade.

Zones 3-8

Mature height: 12"

Carex cherokeensis

Slender blades of medium green. A native that prefers moist soil and some shade.

Zones 6-9

Mature height: 18"
