Carex flacca 'Blue Zinger'

Blue Green Sedge

Plant Type: Ornamental Grass

An eye-catching sedge with striking grasslike foliage of slivery-gray/blue/green which proves adaptable to a wide range of conditions.  Typically thrives in moist, partially-shaded conditions, yet will tolerate dry conditions once established. In cooler summers, this silver blue groundcover tolerates full sun. Forms a dense groundcover that also tolerates light foot traffic. Provides multiseasonal interest with semi-evergreen foliage. Also known as Carex glauca 'Blue Zinger'.
