front yard
lawn alternative: lustered field sedge (Carex praegracilis). Tolerant of almost any condition, it is especially adapted to salt spray from the road — perfect for hell strips (or heck strips). It’s native to the West and the plains but has been introduced everywhere but the Southeast. This sedge is about 2 feet tall and wide and, like most sedges, grows in spring and fall while being green early and late, when most other plants are sleeping
