Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Ficinia truncata ‘Ice Crystal’ is a dwarf, evergreen, grass-like perennial featuring slightly recurved, green leaves with frosty white margins. In late Spring to Summer, small, unshowy brown flower spikes appear. Frosty Sedge is excellent used at the front of a border, in a rock garden, mixed container, or even as a groundcover.
