Blue Sedge, Carex glauca

Blue Sedge

 

Part Sun, Cool-Season

The blue-silver foliage of this sedge looks great in spring, but it needs summer protection from the hot sun, or else it turns brown.
These plants had a very good second year.  They filled out nicely and stayed green and healthy all season without any supplemental water or care.
