Clump-forming, semi-evergreen sedge with shiny, narrow leaves that arch gracefully towards the ground. Spikes of tiny green flowers rise above the foliage in late spring. Attracts small, seed-eating birds and turtles. Plants self-seed, but not aggressively. Tolerates sun, but will need either a consistently moist site or irrigation during hot summer months. Larval host to some Skipper butterflies.
