Carex oshimensis 'Feather Falls' (v)

Description: Carex oshimensis 'Feather Falls' is a beautiful variegated evergreen sedge producing graceful, arching tufts of long, cream and green striped leaves that weep elegantly towards the ground, creating a light, feathery effect. It is a versatile, low-maintenance plant equally effective as groundcover, a feature plant in containers, or a textural foil in mixed planting schemes. The fine variegation brightens shaded spots that many other plants find challenging.
