Carex flacca [a.k.a. glauca] and Carex flaccosperma (blue woodland sedge) are both in the Carex family, probably as "cousins".
Carex flaccosperma, commonly called blue wood sedge, is native to eastern North America.
Carex flacca, commonly called blue-green sedge, is a dense, cool-season, clump-forming but slowly creeping, grass-like, rhizomatous, evergreen sedge which typically grows to 6-10” tall and features narrow, arching, somewhat coarse leaves (3/16” wide) which are blue-green above but blue-gray beneath. It is native to areas around the Mediterranean where it typically grows in calcareous grasslands, marshes, sand dunes, and estuaries in southern Europe and North Africa.
Good question, thanks for asking.
