Carex ‘Feather Falls’
(Ready in spring)
Are a hardy ornamental sedge valued for its cascading, arching green foliage that forms soft, fountain-like clumps, typically growing around 30–50 cm tall and spreading wider over time, making it ideal for borders, mass planting, containers, and erosion control on slopes; it performs best in full sun to partial shade in moist but free-draining soils, is low maintenance, moderately drought tolerant once established, and has good tolerance of wind and light frost.
