Great lawn substitute. Similar to Carex praegracilis but has wider foliage and only grows to 8". From our experience, C. pansa develops a brown look to it in the summer. It will not harm it. If unsightly cut back. Tolerates drought but will not stay as dense/lush, in extreme drought reduce/go dormant. If given regular water, will stay green and lush. Spreads slowly by runners (grows faster with regular water). Can be grown in shade, but will elongate and not fill in as dense.
