This sedge is a moderate grower which holds up well in my winter (down to 15F or so). It only needs a slight haircut in spring. It makes a good filler plant in a shady moist area and looks great with hosta or ferns.

A perennial, clump-forming grass from Europe and North Africa.

Foliage is dark green, bluish beneath and glossy, the leaves can grow 3ft long. Bears a long, arching flower stem with catkin like brown flowers.

Flowers between April and August.

Like a moist, humus rich soil in sun or partial shade.
