About Carex Pansa
Carex pansa is a species of sedge known by the common names: Sand dune sedge; California meadow sedge; Pacific dune sedge. It is native to the coast of Western North America from British Columbia to California, where it grows in dunes and other sandy habitats.
This grasslike sedge produces sharply triangular stems up to about 10–20 centimeters tall from a network of thin, long, coarse rhizomes. The inflorescence is a cluster of several spikes of dark brownish flowers. The plant is often dioecious, with an individual producing either male or female flowers in its inflorescences, but not both.
This sedge is sometimes used as a grass substitute in local landscaping schemes.
