Carex comans ‘Frosted Curls’
Frosted Curls Sedge |
USDA Zone: 6-9 |
Plant number: 8.090.210
A delightful selection of the Hairy Sedge from New Zealand, growing best in regions with a similar mild-winter climate. Plants form a low, cascading mound of very fine grassy leaves, light tan-green in colour with a distinctive sheen. Especially effective as an edging, in the rock garden or in containers. Flowers are insignificant. Clumps may be easily divided in spring, but plants may also self seed and come true. Evergreen where hardy. Drought tolerant. This plant is correctly known now as Carex albula.
