Carex Texensis, Texas Sedge

Texas Sedge is considered the most common sedge in Texas. Texas Sedge is most often used as a replacement for grass because of its long, thin, smooth and grass looking leaves. It is especially nice because it is extremely low maintenance, it doesn't have to be mowed often, and it is drought resistance. Texas Sedge has a beautiful yellow-green color and has a fine and tuft like appearance. The reason for the tuft like appearance is because Texas Sedge grows in clumps, allowing for it to be planted in specific areas without the worry that it will spread. Texas Sedge does well with light foot traffic making it a prime to be used alongside footpaths as well as planted throughout bulbs and flowers.

Texas Sedge is a Grass that Prefers Moist Soil. 

 However, wet shade is it greatest home.  This evergreen carpet has been used as lawn grass in Texas due to its never needing to be mowed or water once established.  It can withstand light traffic and really is quite charming with gardens in mind.  Mixed with bulbs or other plants it gives a lacey look to your stunning blooming bulbs. It does bloom in early spring with fuzzy little blooms that catches the wind and sways back and forth.
