Carex platyphylla (Broad-leaf Silver Sedge)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 4-8 8" tall Origin: USA

In mesic (a region with a well-balanced moisture supply) woodlands from ME south to AL, you can find this amazing native understory sedge, which until recently had been almost non-existent in US gardens. The evergreen 8" tall x 1' wide clumps are composed of 1" wide powder blue pleated leaves. The clumps are topped with insignificant flowers in late spring, but grow this for the textural contrast in the woodland garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
