Carex morrowii is an evergreen, Japanese native sedge that forms dense, clumping mounds. Growing 12-18 inches tall, this species features narrow, arching green leaf blades with distinctive white edges. Morrow's Sedge prefers consistently moist, well-drained soils in partial shade to full shade conditions. It is valued for its unique variegated foliage and ability to provide year-round interest. In the landscape, Carex morrowii makes an excellent choice for use as a groundcover, edging plant, or accent in shaded gardens. Its tidy, clumping habit allows it to effectively fill in spaces and suppress weeds. Morrow's Sedge also combines well with other shade-loving perennials. With minimal maintenance required, it is a resilient and adaptable sedge that provides four-season visual appeal.
