Carex, or Sedges, are brilliant ornamental grasses that bring life and color to otherwise shaded and dark areas of the garden. Hues of greens, yellows and golds compile this perennial color palette. Since it is a clumping perennial it does not spread much making it a great choice for containers and focal points for shorter perennials.
Most varieties don’t mind wet feet and do well near ponds and water gardens. Depending on the winter, they are evergreen as well. This versatile shade perennial is a must-have for any woodland, rock, container or perennial garden. It provides an excellent border for walkways and garden beds too.
