Sand Dune Sedge is a perennial sedge native to coastal areas of northern and central California as well as the Channel Islands. It forms dense colonies through spreading rhizomes and provides fine-textured, dark green foliage that is evergreen in mild climates. Small flowers in early spring are followed by inconspicuous seed heads. Sand Dune Sedge is well-suited as a low-maintenance lawn substitute in sunny areas with sandy, well-drained soil and tolerates occasional flooding. It requires little care beyond occasional mowing and removal of dead foliage in winter.
