Variegated Japanese Sedge Ornamental Grasses (Carex Morrowii Variegata)

Variegated Japanese Sedge Ornamental Grasses Description

Variegated Japanese Sedge is a striking perennial grass that adds elegance and texture to shaded or partially shaded areas of the garden. Known for its attractive green and creamy white striped foliage, this low maintenance plant forms dense, arching clumps, making it an ideal choice for borders, woodland gardens, or as a ground cover. Its graceful, narrow leaves offer movement and a soft contrast to other plants, while its evergreen nature provides visual interest year round, even during the colder months.

Pruning Advice

Cut back spent foliage: In early spring, before new growth begins, trim the plant back to the ground to remove any old or damaged foliage. This will encourage fresh, vibrant growth and maintain a neat appearance.

Division: Every 2 to 3 years, divide the clumps to maintain healthy growth and prevent overcrowding. This will also allow the plant to spread and fill in bare patches in your garden.

Regular watering: While it is relatively drought tolerant once established, it thrives in consistently moist conditions, so ensure it receives regular watering, particularly in dry spells.

Further Information

Evergreen: Variegated Japanese Sedge is a reliable evergreen, maintaining its attractive foliage through the winter, which ensures year round interest in the garden.

Shade Tolerant: This plant excels in partial to full shade, making it perfect for areas where other plants may struggle, such as beneath trees or in the dappled light of woodland gardens.

Low Maintenance: It requires minimal care once established, making it a great choice for both novice gardeners and those seeking an easy to manage ground cover.

Textural Interest: The fine textured foliage creates a soft, arching form, adding movement and contrast to more rigid or heavily textured plants.

Ideal for Moist Areas: It thrives in moist, well drained soil, making it an excellent choice for borders, pond-sides, or damp garden spots that may not suit other plants.
