Carex elata ‘Aurea’

Glowing yellow leaves have a pencil-line edging of green, forming an upright grassy looking clump. Greenish flower appear briefly in late spring. This is a favorite plant of garden designers, especially for moist to wet sites in full sun to part shade. This takes well to growing in containers set into a water feature. Best in cool summer regions. Clumps may be divided in early spring as growth begins. Deciduous in winter. One of the most colourful Sedges, and also among the hardiest. Originally discovered by E.A. Bowles growing wild in Norfolk, UK.
