Carex divulsa is a clumping sedge that forms dense, arching mounds of fine-textured, bright green foliage. C. divulsa has longer, interrupted, pom-pom-like inflorescences with gaps (internodes) between the flower spikelets. This is the key distinguishing characteristic separating C. divulsa from Carex tumulicola. Excellent for erosion control on slopes, groundcover, meadow plantings, mass plantings, woodland gardens, weed suppression, lawn alternative. Can handle light traffic. Full sun to full shade; prefers light/afternoon shade in hot climates. It prefers moderate water, but has high drought tolerance once established. Adaptable to heavy clay, sandy, wet, or dry soils. It tolerates salt, wind, and sea coast exposure. Resistant to deer, rabbits, and gophers. Highly resistant to Verticillium wilt. No serious disease or insect problems. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to -30°F.
