Carex pensylvanica
Description: This small, fine ground cover spreads through thin rhizomes and makes a great lawn alternative and versatile garden plant. It is perfect for mass plantings to fill spaces around perennials and shrubs. It attracts numerous species of butterflies and moths. In fall, the tips of the foliage turn brown and by winter, the entire plant turns a tawny hue with hints of deep green. Cut back one in the spring or leave alone to regenerate new foliage.
