Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A distinctive form of Carex morrowii that we first encountered two years ago while visiting friends in England. Broad, stiff leaves to 18" marked with conspicuous cream-colored margins rise from rigid rosettes. "A stunning selection," said one English nurseryman. Plant in full sun in coastal gardens, or in part to full shade inland with moderate water. Hardy to 0 °F. Garden origin.
