Carex pansa is an evergreen, cool-season, perennial grass that spreads by rhizomes to form dark green mats. Excellent as a now-mow or low-mow lawn substitute for coastal landscapes. Tolerates light to moderate foot traffic. Other uses include weed suppression, stabilizing bare hillsides, erosion control, bioswales, and rain gardens. Full sun to partial shade; prefers more sun for a denser look. Thrives in sand, but adapts to clay loam, and rocky soil. Moderate to low water use; once established, it is highly drought-tolerant. Deer-resistant. Resistant to most insect and disease issues. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 10°F.
