Buy Carex spissa 'Diego Blue'

Large evergreen, clumping sedge that has strappy particularly blue-gray foliage that will reach 3 to 4 feet tall. San Diego Sedge is found growing naturally near seeps and in canyon bottoms below 4,000 ft. Spring flowers held on arching stems are golden aging to buff tan. Tolerant of a wide variety of conditions from very wet in full sun to a relatively dry light shade in well drained, clay, or gritty soils. Best in full sun or partial shade with occasional summer irrigation where dry. The ability of this plant to handle both wet inundation and drought makes it a great candidate for bioswales.
