Japanese sedge 'Ice Dance' | Carex morrowii Ice Dance - Height 10-20cm Width 30-40cm - 2lt

Carex Ice Dance is an evergreen sedge forming dense, arching clumps of glossy, dark green leaves edged with a creamy white margin. The variegated foliage provides consistent colour and interest throughout the year, with the contrast between the white margins and dark green centres being particularly striking in spring and summer when new growth emerges. Small, inconspicuous brown flower spikes appear in early summer but hold little ornamental value compared to the foliage. This spreading grass forms a low, mounded structure and thickens over time via rhizomes, making it useful for ground cover or edging. It tolerates a range of conditions and is particularly well suited to shady spots beneath trees or shrubs where many other plants struggle, as well as damp or heavier clay soils. It also performs well in coastal gardens, tolerating exposure to wind. The dense foliage can offer shelter for small garden insects and other invertebrates at ground level, contributing modestly to garden biodiversity. Low maintenance and adaptable, this sedge works well in shaded borders, woodland-style planting schemes, or as underplanting beneath taller specimens, bringing year-round textural and colour contrast to areas that might otherwise lack interest during colder months.
