Deep green and lustrous, with thin evergreen blades elegantly arching out from a clumping base; yields inconspicuous brownish blooms held by lax, wiry stems. Once established, the fast growing and versatile Carex tumulicola can endure an array of factors: some drought, boggy areas, tree roots, sun or shade, and foot traffic, including the four-legged kind. However, regular watering and a trim every 6 months will ensure the most verdant growth. You can space it closely and mow for a turflike effect, plant en masse as a ground cover in a small or large area. Blooms May–June. Zones 4-7
