Sedge
Grass
Carex |
Carex 'Hime Kawasuga' |
Description:
Contrary to true ornamental grasses, Carex grows well in shaded situations with moist,
well-drained soil. Due to it's dense, mound-forming
habit, it's difficult for weeds to survive. These grass-like, clumping plants
are grown for foliage effect in borders, containers, ground cover, rock gardens and water
gardens.
