Carex pennsylvanica, commonly known as the Pennsylvania Sedge, is a popular semi-evergreen native sedge. It forms an exquisite green carpet and spreads slowly by rhizomes making it an excellent ground cover.  It reaches a height of about 6 to 12 inches, with narrow, arching, light green leaves that create a refined, natural look. It forms dense, tufted clumps that work beautifully as ground cover, border plants, or in shaded areas. 

It thrives in moist, well-drained soils, but can tolerate drier conditions once established. It also performs best in full to partial shade. It is known for being low-maintenance and easy to grow and its fine-textured foliage provides a naturalistic look, making it perfect for adding a soft, airy feel to your planting area.
