Carex ‘The Beatles’ is a low-growing, evergreen sedge prized for its fine texture and tidy, walkable growth habit.

Forming a dense mat just a few inches tall, this grass-like perennial works beautifully between stepping stones, along pathways, and as a filler in low meadows or lawn-alternative plantings. It tolerates light foot traffic while maintaining a clean, uniform look.

Deer resistant and bog tolerant, ‘The Beatles’ thrives in part shade with consistently moist soil, making it especially useful in shaded garden areas where traditional turf struggles.

Subtle summer blooms rise just above the foliage, while the evergreen leaves provide year-round structure and softness. The plant also supports pollinators by attracting butterflies.

Organically grown and shipped with care—ready to create a soft, durable ground cover for paths, shade gardens, and walkable landscapes.
