Nursery contributed plant descriptions

pilulifera 'Tinney's Princess'. This delicate clumping sedge resembles an Acorus in the fineness of the foliage, but has proven to be a much more robust plant. The mostly cream-colored blades are lined by a narrow deep green margin and the foliage has a somewhat moppy effect. Plant in part shade or full sun along the coast and provide regular water. With proper care this charmer will reach 8-12" tall and up to 2' wide. Spreads slowly by rhizomes. Hardy to 5 °F. Europe.
