Species range from 4 to 6 ft in height. Good choice for a bio-swale or lawn alternative. This native Carex can be successfully used as a lawn substitute but requires significant water to obtain good coverage. Once coverage is reached, water can be reduced and maintenance is close to zero. Unmowed, the plant can be used effectively in a variety of conditions and will reach a height of 6" or under and spreads by rhizomes eventually to 2' +.-Information by James Campbell, El Nativo Growers http://bewaterwise.com/Gardensoft/plant_description. aspx?PlantID=21852 Sedum (sedum sp.): Groundcover; 0.5-2 ft tall; pink, yellow, or burgundy colored flowers; attracts butterflies.
