Notes/Description:
This native, cool-season, perennial, grass-like herb forms dense clumps with heights of 24-36". A good species for wetland restorations and other saturated areas, such as stream banks and lake shores. It does exceptionally well in calcerous situations and wet meadows. This bunching herb will stay controlled for landscaping situations, rain gardens and moist pond areas.
