Carex radiata

Eastern Star Sedge  is a low-growing, clump-forming sedge perfect for shady lawns and landscapes. Its fine-textured, dark green foliage form a sweeping, low mat of foliage. In mid-summer, this sedge hosts a constellation of star-like seed heads. It makes it a great lawn alternative which can be mowed or left long. Does best in moist soils. For areas that sometimes dry out, use the similar Rosy sedge instead.
