Carex

Sedge

A diverse genus comprised of nearly 1000 species, most Carex originate in the moist habitats of temperate climates. Our graceful selections are easy to grow and promise to soften those hard edges in your garden.

Carex siderosticha ‘Island Brocade’ partial shade

It’s always a happy day for us when the broad bamboo-like blades finally burst forth each spring. Pale yellow and gold-hued margins encompass cream streaked lime centers, while the bold arching leaves achieve a highly ornamental, dense low cover that spreads slowly from underground rhizomes. Undoubtedly inspiring its cultivar name, the ornately patterned, deciduous foliage becomes an illuminated beacon for the woodland garden or some sullen niche in need of sprucing up. (PPAF)

Size: 9"–12" high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 6.
