Carex pensylvanica
Carex pensylvanica
Common Name: oak sedge

With its tough disposition and spreading habit, this native sedge makes an excellent shade groundcover. Fine texture and fountaining habit give this sedge a soft appearance that is lovely as an underplanting for bolder shade perennials or on its own as a shade lawn. Great in containers too! Easy to grow. Happiest in the company of oaks, but who isn't?

Height: 8-10 Inches
Spread: 12-18 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-8

Sedum reflexum 'Blue Spruce'
Sedum reflexum 'Blue Spruce'
Common Name: stonecrop

A dense mat of conifer-like blue foliage forms a tight, weed resistant groundcover in any sunny location. In June deep mauve pink stems rise to 10" and are topped with brilliant yellow flowers. 'Blue Spruce' grows quickly and is easy to maintain even in the most unwelcome of sites. Great for rock walls, green roofs, walkways and containers. Evergreen in warmer zones.

Height: 3-6 Inches
Spread: 12-24 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 3-9
