Carex platyphylla

Silver Sedge or Blue Satin Sedge

A spectacular new clump-froming sedge with powder blue leaves up to an inch or more wide. Spreads slowly to form a wonderfully textured groundcover in moist or average soil. Tolerates dry shade once established. An early spring haircut makes room for clean new growth. Great for deciduous shade.
