Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Arching upward and out, this Carex's lush foliage is elegant. A glinting cascade of refined, evergreen blades presents dark green margins with broad, alabaster-colored central stripes that mature to creamy yellow. Languishing if it's too hot, slow spreading 'Gold Strike' thrives in moist, well drained sites, and makes a bold statement when its densely set, variegated tussocks are planted in a meandering swath amidst Pulmonaria 'Benediction' or Epimediums.
