About
Carex 'Feather Falls' is a perennial sedge that maintains a lush, evergreen appearance. It forms clumps of gracefully arching, mid-green leaves that are delicately striped and bordered in white. In late spring, it generates upright, buff-hued plumes that resemble feathers, which are later complemented by clusters of small, green fruitlets.
About the genus
Carex encompasses both deciduous and evergreen species, characterized by their rhizomatous or tufted growth habits. These perennials feature triangular stems topped with linear or strap-like foliage, and they produce spikes that can be either short or elongated, adorned with small green or brown flowers.
