CAREX PRAEGRACILIS
As the days get longer, and the cold known to Southern California drifts away, individuals look to picnic or lounge in a lush field of grass—enjoying the ever vibrant Los Angeles sun. One of the best ways to capture this field-like grass is to replace a lawn with drought-tolerant Carex Praegracilis, otherwise known as California field sedge. This is a perfect lovely and sustainable alternative to grass. For additional information on the planting process for Carex Praegracilis, refer to this post.
KURAPIA
Phyla Nodiflora Lippia, otherwise known as Kurapia, is a beautiful option other than Carex Praegracilis. Dotted with little flowers when in bloom, this lawn alternative is incredibly drought-tolerant and sturdy. Particularly if the grass will double as a soccer field or play space, this the perfect environmentally-conscious choice. For more information on this lawn alternative, refer to this post.
