ear47mtete|2000DE60D170|DB_9F2AFA_fump|planttable|description|0xfaffbd0900000000ce01000001001300 This upright yet arching Carex looks good planted informally in groups, where it can be dotted ammoung herbaceous plants and other lower growing plants, such as Hosta and ferns. It will seed naturally and come become something of a weed plant, but is a useful plant in problematic shady damp areas.
Cultivation tips: This tough UK native sedge will tolerate full shade or sun, ideally in a sheltered spot. Plant this hardy Carex in any soil, even water logged soils. Mulch every few years and water occasionally during drought. Suites growing in woodland or shady beds as naturalist planting
