Japanese Sedge
Carex oshimensis 'Moonlight'
- A gloriously variegated sedge featuring creamy yellow leaves with deep green margins
- Evergreen foliage grows upwards from a tuft before arching out and flowing elegantly downwards, adding understated class wherever it's planted
- Perfect for growing in beds and borders alongside colourful perennials (like rudbeckia and echinacea) in prairie-style planting schemes, 'Moonlight' can also be used to add year-round interest to patios when grown in a container
- Looking for an unfussy plant? Look no further; this variety is fully cold hardy, low maintenance and incredibly easy to grow - what's not to like?
- This variety is as versatile as it is enchanting, and can be used, not only in prairie gardens as mentioned above, but also in contemporary, coastal and cottage garden schemes
