Notes/Description:
Tufted, clumped, native, perennial grass-like herb/rush that is a cool-season plant. Path rush is well-suited for droughty, compacted, disturbed sites, such as trails and edges of restorations of prairies and wetlands. It is excellent for making a seamless prairie garden and can be used in rain gardens. This species is easy to grow and forms short, attractive clumps. Spreads slowly.
