Carex divulsa
(Formerly known as C. tumicola or “Berkeley Sedge”)

The clumping, evergreen Carex divulsa is one of the best for creating lush, meadow-like effects along the west coast of California. An excellent, VERY TOUGH groundcover for shade (or sun), it thrives under trees - handily tolerating root competition. Tolerates foot traffic, too, so once it’s established it will take considerable abuse, so a good choice for DOG YARDS. Growing to 2’ tall & wide, it can even be mowed periodically to create a more lawn-like effect, or cut it back once or twice a year to keep it looking fresh & tidy. Though drought tolerant, it looks better with regular watering.
