Carex Pansa IdealMow Meadow
Visitors couldn't resist the IdealMow meadow of Carex pansa! Luckily, this Californa native grass can manage relatively heavy foot traffic and needs only 25-50 percent of the water needed by a traditional lawn. It maintains its green through high-heat and needs no chemical fertilizers of pesticides to thrive in Los Angeles. Photo: Lesly Hall Photography
