This native sedge is easy to grow and forms a ground cover in full to part shade, unlike many other sedges that prefer moist to wet soils Carex pensylvanica like dry to average moisture soils. This was a top performer in the Mt.Cuba Centers Carex trial.

A good option for hillsides you don't want to mow or just a nice ground cover under trees. Will spread by rhizomes to form a nice colony. It's foliage can be semi evergreen to evergreen depending on how harsh the winter is and the location it is planted otherwise it will be a deciduous perennial.
