Description

Carex tumulicola is found in western North America, from British Columbia to California,.[1] It has a height and width of 2 feet (61 cm), and is slowly spreading.[2][3] It is found in meadows and open woodlands, below 1,200 metres (3,900 ft).

Cultivation

Carex tumulicola is cultivated in the horticulture trade and widely available as a (grass-like) ornamental grass for: traditional and natural landscape drought-tolerant water-conserving lawns and small 'garden-meadows,' native plant and habitat gardens; and various types of municipal, commercial, and agency sustainable landscape and restoration projects.[2]

Similar species

Plants grown in the nursery trade are often mislabeled with botanical and common names of similar appearing Carex spp. - while the subtle distinctions are currently [2010] reclarified-assigned by botanists.[2] For example, one considered the species to be closely related to Carex hookeriana,[3] and others to Carex pansa.[2]
