Nice showy plant that allows yellow to shine in the garden. Good color in winter. Noticed that during propagation from division of clumps that you have to cut out a good bit of dead shoots in the spring for it to look presentable in the late spring/summer.

I have many grasses that are new to me this year, and this is one of my favorites! I went back and got a few more to tuck in here and there as it just looks great where ever it's planted. It does well in sun, shade, moist areas, and can grow a bit dry - within reason. Just a great, easy, versatile plant!!

Carex morrowii is a brightener of dark places, loves shade, appears to be drought tolerant, has no diseases or problems. Never needs any care -- no shearing, etc. Nestles nicely against walls, stones in rock gardens. It looks orderly and well behaved all year. A hard freeze doesn't faze it. Its blooms are small, non-descript, not showy. After a few years the clump gets bigger and can be divided into several new clumps, which take well to transplanting.

Very shady garden in New Hyde Park, Long Island, New York. I have had eight of these plants since planted in 2001and 2002. They have weathered mild as well as severe winters. Very pleasing to the eye and require no special care. They do like to be trimmed back in the early spring and fill in nicely be end of summer. They stay green throughout the winter.
