Berkeley sedge -- Carex divulsa

Berkeley sedge (seed) Unlimited uses! So adaptable and versatile, “Berkeley Sedge” always looks lush and pretty as it thrives in both sun and shade. Tough and carefree, I use it to edge beds and pathways and as a steppable groundcover even in quite shady areas under trees (as it’s unfazed by root competition). Stays nice and green year around in temperate climates, quickly filling out to a dense, finely textured 2’ x 2’ clump that can be clipped or mowed
