A real winner--very graceful form and lovely color. Looked great all season spilling out of a shady half barrel.

Grew this plant in a pot over the summer and loved it! What a beautiful "waterfall" effect pouring out of the pot! I don't think it would be hardy here in zone 4a, so I brought it into the garage for the winter - hope it survives!

I have a beautiful golden clump grown over several years. It is a real eye-catcher and brightens up a dark area.

Love this sedge! It has a lovely graceful form, looks great all year, with just a bit of fading in the winter and needing light trimming in the spring to get rid of some tatters. Through the summer it just looks better one day after the next. Always nice to find something to offset my hostas in the shade beds.
