With stunning metallic silvery blue, 1/2" wide grass-like foliage, Carex laxiculmis ‘Hobb’ (Bunny Blue ®) is a versatile native Sedge that is often used as a vibrant accent for smaller gardens or as an eye-catching groundcover in shady areas of borders or woodland gardens. Perfect for areas with moist soils such as low spots or on the edges of streams or ponds.

Reaching a mature height of only 12”, it spreads slowly to moderately quickly by rhizomes to form tidy clumps. Bunny Blue ® Sedge grows best in average soil that is evenly moist to wet. It prefers part shade to full shade, but will tolerate full sun full sun in northern zones with sufficient water. Soil should not be allowed to dry out, it needs consistent watering in hot summer weather.

Native to eastern North America, the vibrant blue foliage of ‘Hobb' is wider than most other Carex for superb texture and contrast with companions that are ordinary green. Tiny yellow flowers emerge in late spring but are not highly ornamental. Though evergreen in southern zones, plan to cut back the foliage in late winter to encourage fresh growth.
