A beautiful sedge that forms a non-invasive dense clump of narrow, arching blue grass-like foliage. Short flower spikes appear late in spring but do not detract from the striking foliage colour. Great mass planted around ponds and water features as it tolerates boggy sites and aids erosion control. Very versatile as this Carex is also drought tolerant. Grows approx 30cm H x 45cm W. Also known as Carex flacca.
