Renowned for its ornamental appeal, it features arching, graceful mounds of flowing foliage, and although native to the cool, moist, wooded mountains of Japan, it is a warm-season Grass. It grows actively during warm weather, produces wispy plumes in midsummer, and often develops vibrant fall color before fading to buff as winter sets in, adding movement and texture to winter gardens. This low-maintenance plant thrives in partial to full shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. While it tolerates full sun in cooler, moist climates such as the Pacific Northwest, it requires more shade and moisture in hotter regions.

They will cover approximately 55–60 sq ft. \u003cem\u003eExclusive\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis genus of shade lovers has 70 species, all of them from China and Japan, and hybridizers have produced hundreds of exciting crosses. Hostas have many handsome leaf colorations and lavender or white Lily-like flowers on graceful stalks. Plants prefer a moist location, but we've had a mass planting thrive for more than 30 years under a row of Sugar Maples. (In the South and West, evenly moist soil is required.)

Plants produce up to 1' sprays of finely textured green foliage that turns the color of wheat toward autumn. This highly serviceable Sedge is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and tolerant of shade, part shade, and dry shade. It is also a larval food plant for native butterfly caterpillars. The Sedge can be used in borders to fill in around the bases of tall perennials or planted en masse as a substitute for lawn. Plants spread gradually by rhizome, but are not invasive. They form a dense mat that can be mowed two to three times per season to a height of 3-4\".

Otherwise known as Sedges, these diverse perennials are identified by their unique triangular stems as described in the beloved botanical mnemonic, “Sedges have edges, Rushes are round…” Sedges, sometimes grown as annuals depending on a region’s cold hardiness zone, have either a spreading (rhizomatous) or a tufted habit. Their linear leaves, from hair-like to strap-shaped, can be deciduous or evergreen and are often colored or variegated, making these plants coveted for their foliage. There is a Sedge for practically every condition, whether sun or shade, wet or dry, which opens this genus to a wide range of uses. In gardens, they are great as ground covers (especially beneath or alongside shade perennials) or as toppers for sunny stone walls. They are finding their way into larger projects, too, such as bioswales and alternatives for lawns. Here at White Flower Farm, we love using Sedges in container plantings, where the leaves add linear interest and terrific texture amid annuals and succulents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLandscape Plugs™ are a boon to gardeners seeking an easy, economical way to plant sizable swaths of native perennials.
