Carex pennsylvanica is a low-growing spreading clump of arching, grass-like leaves that sends out short stalks topped with dense clusters of tiny flowers. Flowers are small with no petals or sepals and green colored. The flowers are followed by a brownish seed capsule. Carex are larval host plants for many species of moths and skipper butterflies. Their clumping habit provides cover from predators for many birds and wild animals, and their seeds are important food for birds and other wildlife.
