Carex morrowii 'Ice Dance'
{24 Pots - 3 1/2 in.}

(AKA Japanese Variegated Sedge, Frosted Sedge, Rush)

'Ice Dance' is a dense, spreading sedge grown for its gracefully arching leathery foliage. The 1/2" wide dark green leaves with bright white variegated edges make a bold statement and brighten woodland areas and shady gardens. This low maintenance sedge looks good year-round, even in winter.

This relatively new (1996) plant is identical to Carex morrowii 'Variegata', except that it spreads instead of forming a clump. It spreads by rhizomes (slowly in dry soils and moderately fast in wet soils) to make a tidy non-invasive groundcover that discourages weeds, and is reasonably drought tolerant once established.

Often used as a dramatic accent groundcover, for borders and mass plantings, in containers, or as a groundcover in shade and rock gardens. Carex can be planted along banks of ponds, incorporated into perennial gardens, grouped together, and utilized as a ground cover along walkways, paths or on steep banks. An excellent alternative to ivy and Pachysandra. Small, cream to brown, bottlebrush-like flowers are produced in late spring but are rather insignificant to the plant's ornamental value.

Good for erosion control, deer and disease resistant, long-lasting and easy to grow. Does best in wet or constantly moist soil in partial shade, great for those very wet problem areas. Adaptable to a wide range of soils, tolerates clay and other poor soils. This sedge is evergreen in all but the coldest climates.

'Ice Dance' looks its best when the foliage is cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth occurs. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. In northern zones, it does best when planted out of the way of winter winds and provided with some protection such as snow or straw.

Height 10-14 inches, spacing 12-15 inches. Tolerances: deer, drought, moisture, poor soil, slopes.
