Carex morrowii 'Variegata'

One of the most popular and common of the sedges, Golden Japanese Sedge is most commonly used for borders planted in rows or as single landscape specimens. The long blades will arch over planter boxes if the edge of the plant is within three or four inches of the edge, which can be useful to hide drops in walls in steep landscapes. You can see this in the first picture of a Golden Sedge growing in a two gallon container, which is barely visible behind the many golden variegated blades.

Propagation
This plant is easily divided in October by clump division. Potted plants are the easiest because they can simply be dumped out, but planted clumps can also be dug up and divided. Cut the leaf blades back to about four inches in length to make what you are doing more visible, and you will see that there are many clumps of leaves that make up the base of the plant. In potting soil, they can be simply pulled apart into single clumps (these will usually have about ten leaves per clump). Plants in poor soil might be more difficult to pull apart and can be cut, but be sure to leave some roots. Replant each miniature clump into another pot or into the ground with well amended soil. Large clumps can also just be cut in half or into quarters if larger divisions are required.

Long lived and very hardy with a lovely yellow and green variegation.
