Carex perdentata (Webberville Sedge)
Also known as Meadow or Sand Sedge.
Webberville Sedge is excellent for unimproved or natural areas. It is cold hardy and somewhat drought tolerant once established. It is semi-evergreen and it can be used as a turf substitute in part shade and shade. It can tolerate part sun or even full sun but will require more water.
Webberville Sedge tolerates a wide variety of soil types and conditions. It grows in open mesic forests, dry woodlands (under canopy trees like cedar elms, Texas persimmons, mesquites, and hackberries), savannas, grasslands. Webberville Sedge will survive the drought periods, but it will look better if you water it regularly in the summer.
Like all sedges, it will tolerate mowing as long as you don't mow too short. Keep the mowing above 4" and mow just once a season.
