Diverse in color, shape, texture, or size, Carex (Sedge) is a very large genus of about 1,000 species and countless cultivars. Evergreen or deciduous, some produce a small fountain of gracefully arching foliage while others present a more upright appearance. They all add drama to the garden or containers.

Easy to grow, low maintenance and tough, Sedges can help you create a terrific display with their bold variegated foliage cascading with elegance or the dramatic contrast their tufted, erect copper-bronze foliage offers when mixed with silvers or hot flower colors.

Sedges require very little care and provide year-round interest. Place your pots or containers in sun or part shade and water regularly, particularly in the summer. However, do not overwater. Feed monthly with a liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
