Carex praegracilis – Clustered Field Sedge, Slender Sedge

Its narrow, light green leaves spread freely by rhizomes, creating a lush, flowing groundcover that tolerates moderate foot traffic. Native to the central and north coast of California, it's equally striking as a background plant or a sweeping lawn substitute in low-water landscapes.
