Carex tumulicola – Foothill Sedge
A tough and versatile California native, Carex tumulicola thrives where many plants struggle — in heavy shade, wet soils, and drought conditions alike. Native to open woods, meadows, and coastal prairies of California, Oregon, and Washington, it forms attractive tufts that spread by underground rhizomes, making it an excellent groundcover beneath trees and shrubs or in naturalistic meadow plantings.
