Sedge

An attractive tufted plant with lots of fine, thread-like, evergreen leaves forming an attractive mounded shape. Plants resemble a grass, but are actually a species of sedge. Most of those sold in garden centres have reddish-bronze foliage and may be labelled as bronze, although plants are naturally variable and some have greenish-yellow leaves. Plants are very striking grown in containers and also look at home planted around the edge of a pond where the soil is moist but not wet. It is also good for adding foliage interest to a border of herbaceous perennials and grasses.
