The City of Ann Arbor includes it in its native grasses and sedges guide and describes it as a candidate for moist or wet shade.</p> <h2 id="site-profile">Site profile</h2> <p>The Ann Arbor description says this species is often found in wet woodland hollows, tolerates a broad range of moisture and soil conditions, and typically reaches 1–3 feet. Its fine leaves and arching seedheads give it an open, wispy form. The source does not provide a soil pH, spread estimate, or measured tolerance for compacted ground.</p>
