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 ciliatomarginata ‘Treasure Island’   

Longitudinal white stripes, some broad, others thin, sprint down the center and border the margins, painting their bold, illuminated pattern on each short, narrow green blade. This dapper-looking new sedge was selected by Minnesota’s Hans Hansen and is a smaller version of its close relation, Carex siderosticha. Dwelling in the dry and dimly lit, grassy mountainous haunts of China, Korea and Japan, ‘Treasure Island’ slowly spreads by rhizomes, forming a versatile, low dense cover that thrives with adequate moisture but can handle some sun and appreciable shade or dryness. (pp# 16332).

Size: 4" high x 15" wide; hardy to zone 5.
