Clustered Field Sedge is a clumping, rich-green sedge with a dense, turf-like appearance. It typically reaches a height of 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) and spreads through rhizomes, creating a carpet-like ground cover. The leaves of clustered Field Sedge can withstand moderate foot traffic. This plant is adapted to full sun to partial shade and may enter a summer dormancy in hot, dry conditions. Its moderate water requirements are lower than those of traditional lawn grasses. Clustered Field Sedge can survive temperatures down to at least 10 F (-12 C) and is capable of regenerating from its underground rhizomes after exposure to colder weather.
