For lasting structure and subtle movement across the seasons, Carex stands out among ornamentals.
These compact evergreen sedges form neat, arching tufts of finely textured leaves in a variety of colours—from misty green to copper-bronze, creamy white, golden yellow and fiery orange. Each cultivar offers its own unique character, whether softening the edge of a border, spilling gracefully over containers, or adding glowing highlights to shaded corners. Their foliage shifts subtly through the seasons, creating movement, contrast and visual rhythm that elevates planting schemes in both modern and traditional gardens.
Arriving as robust, well-established 2L plants, grown peat-free at our Yorkshire nursery, these ornamental grasses establish quickly and perform strongly in their first year. Hardy, reliable and easy to care for, they’re a brilliant choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance structure and long-lasting interest. Delivered in 100% plastic-free, gift-ready packaging, they’re a sustainable way to bring lasting colour and texture into your outdoor spaces.
