More Information

Description Give your shade garden some light with gold foliage from Bowles Golden sedge (Carex). This plant forms a tidy clump of narrow golden leaves edged in green. Dwelling happily in moisture-retentive soil, this sedge forms a versatile, low-growing evergreen groundcover that deer avoid. Bowles Golden sedge slowly increases in size every year and provides a stunning statement paired with bold leafed hostas, colorful heucheras, or hardy ferns. Try planting it in small spaces, containers, bog gardens, or anywhere that needs a pop of color. Easy to grow and low maintenance, all you have to do is plant and enjoy! Details How To Grow

Pure gold

What great plants! Perfect size, color, and delivery of my plants. All my grasses I ordered from Great Garden Plants this spring and summer are thriving. They even refunded an order that failed to grow. I ordered from 7different nurseries this year and Great Garden was the best in every respect.

Is surviving in a really tough location

I’m at the end of a cul de sac at the bottom of a hill and with 30” of rain in NE Texas this spring, it’s been a soggy mess. I have 3 of these sedges planted along the edge of shaded driveway where to rain water runs thru my yard and they’re doing well.
Barely hung on the 1st year but are doing better this year.
