Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Ever so cute and fluffy ‘hairy sedge’! An 18-24”, permed mop of extra fine, olive green leaves that mature to a buffy color. Contrast this with big leaved plants, use it as path edging, group near boulders plunk into pots…looks great near pavers and stepping stones too! Sun to part shade, edaphically tolerant (sandy well drained best), takes some drought, deer proof; evergreen.
Silvery-green foliage with curly tips.
New Zealand Hair sedge grows 16" tall and wide. Evergreen pale green blades are twisted and curled at the tips adding a playful ambiance.
