distribution_en:
description_en: Genus of approximately 80 species of mostly evergreen, tufted, grass-like perennials (rarely annuals), sometimes with short rhizomes or stolons. Wood-rushes are widely distributed on heaths and moors, in fens and bogs, and in scrub, woodland, and mountain grassland throughout the temperate regions of the world. Broadly linear basal and stem leaves are flat or grooved along their lengths, and have fringes of zigzagged white hairs at the margins, which distinguish them from rushes (Juncus). Tiny flowers are produced in terminal, panicle-, corymb-, or cyme-like clusters, in spring or summer. Valued for their shade tolerance, wood-rushes provide useful ground cover in damp shade, either in a mixed border or in a woodland garden. L. ulophylla is also suitable for a trough or rock garden.
