Tidy, grassy mound with arching silver-white-margined dark green blades--a nice accent plant that will brighten any garden and make a great textural contrast. It likes moist, well-draining soil but doesn't want to sit in water.

By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

Shapely deep green blades with snowy white edges. Bred by Fitzgerald Nurseries who works with mutations of Carex 'Evergold'. Useful in the border, near a water feature, in mass plantings, and in containers! Though recommended for average to moist sites this species is tolerant of dry shade. Evergreen.
