Mountain sedge
Carex montana
Mountain sedge is a compact, clump-forming perennial that thrives in partial shade with moderately moist, well-drained soil. It is an excellent low-maintenance ground cover for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or beneath trees. Cut back old foliage in late winter to keep the plant looking neat and healthy.
