(Japanese Sedge)

Japanese sedge is grown for its dramatic grass-like, arching green leaves. It is an evergreen, herbaceous perennial native to Japan. It grows in an open clump of narrow arching leaf blades. Although many plant nurseries display and market Japanese sedge with ornamental grasses, sedges are more versatile, being tolerant of partial shade and drier soils while remaining evergreen in winter. Cut back the leaves in late winter to tidy the plant before the new leaves emerge in spring.
