Carex
Sedge
A diverse genus comprised of nearly 1000 species, most Carex originate in the moist habitats of temperate climates. Easily grown, our winning selections produce a variety of different colored leaves that promise to soften those sharp edges in your garden.
This new Exceptio Plants introduction has a lot to vaunt: sauve looks plus superb evergreen pep coupled with a fast-growing extralarge habit that’s more sun and heat tolerant than many of its Carex oshimensis kin. Dark emerald-green centers enveloped by lucent creamy-white margins garnish the gleaming cascade of long, narrow, arching variegated leaves. A premiere container showpiece, easy-care ‘Feather Falls’ can be planted as a specimen or en masse adorning slopes, pathways and shady mixed borders, while it escorts broader-leafed perennials like Saxifraga, Epimedium or Asarum.
