Carex pansa, commonly known as the Sand Dune Sedge, is a low-growing, perennial grass-like plant native to the coastal areas of California and Oregon. It features vibrant green, narrow leaves that form dense, spreading clumps, creating a lush groundcover effect. Carex pansa is adapted to coastal environments, including sandy dunes and coastal scrub habitats.
This plant is highly valuable for erosion control on sandy soils, stabilizing coastal landscapes against wind and water movement. Its adaptability to salt spray and drought conditions makes it a suitable choice for coastal gardens, dune restorations, or native plant landscapes. This low-maintenance Sedge(Cyperaceae) is known for its ability to thrive in challenging conditions while adding a touch of greenery to coastal environments.
