Carex pensylvanica – No-Mow Lawn/Pennsylvania Sedge

$25.00$105.00

1 gallon pot or 2.5″ pots

Curbside pickup at Arboretum in May.

Description

This fine grasslike plant does well in sun or shade, in a variety of soils – best in light shade and well-drained soil. Plant it under a small tree, and it will not be shaded out as the tree grows! It spreads gently by rhizomes and by seed to form a meadowy carpet that tolerates light foot traffic. It will reach only 6″-12″ in height, so we recommend growing them where a low, “fluffy,” or tufted look is desired.

Can purchase 1/2 flat (16 plants), full flat (32 plants), or #1 gallon pots (with a deeper root system) that will give your no-mow lawn a great start!
