Carex tumulicola

This California native grass is pure elegance in plant form! Foothill Sedge creates beautiful, flowing clumps of narrow green leaves that add graceful movement to your landscape. It's incredibly versatile - gorgeous as a groundcover, stunning in mass plantings, or perfect as an accent plant. The delicate flower spikes appear in late spring, adding subtle texture and interest. Drought tolerant once established but also handles some summer water, making it adaptable to various garden styles. Deer resistant and virtually pest-free!
