Sourthern woodrush
Luzula forsteri
Southern woodrush is a low-maintenance evergreen grass-like perennial that thrives in partial shade and consistently moist soil. It works beautifully as a ground cover under trees or along shaded borders. Little pruning or feeding is needed — simply remove dead foliage in early spring to keep it tidy.
