Carex morrowii 'Silk Tassel' (Striped Japanese Sedge)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 5-9 12" tall Origin: Japan

Everyone who sees this clumping carex can't leave without it. From a 1970s Barry Yinger expedition to Japan comes this hard-to-find but easy-to-grow selection of C. morrowii temnolepis v. temnolepis. The 2' wide clump of wispy thread-like foliage is striped white-and-green...giving it a silver sheen in the garden. Imagine a 70 year old with a mop-top cut that hasn't been introduced to hair color and you get the picture. C. 'Silk Tassel' is great in the woodland garden...either in a mass planting or as a specimen near the garden pond...absolutely outstanding! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
