Juncus tenuis
path rush
Path rush grows wild throughout North America, forming dense, diminutive clumps (compared to other rushes) in full sun to partial shade. It grows well in disturbed areas and moist areas such as wetlands, but can also be found as one of the most widespread meadow rushes. Path rush makes a great walkable groundcover or alternative lawn, with much better wildlife value than typical turf grass.
