“California Meadow Sedge”

A native to the Californian Pacific Coast, this low maintenance species is said to be an excellent substitute for lawn turf. It’s not aggressive, but it does spread by rhizomes, & it can be mowed. It is also described as very tolerant of traffic & diverse soil types including both sand & clay. Growing just 4-6” unmowed, it’s the perfect foundational plant for creating your own native meadow. Drought tolerant & evergreen, it will tolerate light shade but will look better in more sun.
