Grass, Carex densa

This clumping, perennial sedge forms dense tufts of dark green, fine-textured foliage, creating a soft, graceful appearance. Hardy in USDA zones 6-9, it thrives in temperate climates with cool to moderate temperatures. Its tidy grass-like habit reaches a mature height of 12-24 inches, making it an ideal groundcover or filler plant for naturalistic landscapes. Carex prefers moist, fertile soils with good drainage and tolerates partial shade to full sun. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, it does not display significant fall color but offers subtle ornamental appeal year-round. No significant blooms or fruits are present, emphasizing its role as a textural element in your garden.
