Dwarf Mat Rush
Description
This perennial grass reaches about 3' in height. Leaves are glossy green, shiny, firm, flat. The scented flowers are pollinated by beetles. Each cluster has a sharp, slender, straw-colored bract at its base, which gives it a dense spike-like structure. It flowers in late winter/early spring, with fruiting 1-2 months after flowering. The plant is tolerant of sandy, loamy and clay soils. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It is a low water needing plant.
