Wide, shiny, deep green leaves with prominent white edges. This clump-forming sedge is excellent for autumn displays. The clear variegation on the leaves and the love of damp shade means that this plant lends itself to creating a striking statement in a darker corner, beside a pond or even in a container on a north-facing patio.
