Species of plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carex leavenworthii, called Leavenworth's sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cyperaceae.[3] It is native to southern Ontario and the central and eastern United States, and it has been introduced to California and Japan.[2] A perennial with deep green leaf blades reaching 32 in (80 cm), it can tolerate a wide variety of habitats and soil types and is herbivore-resistant, and so it has found use as an ornamental and a mowable lawn grass alternative.[3][4]
