Carex siderosticta Snow Cap Cottage Garden Plants mimosa-like leavesWe are quite excited to share Carex siderosticta 'Snow Cap' one of the most exciting sedges that we've grown. This Japanese selection was first shared with us by Tom Ranney, allowing us to make it available. Carex 'Snow Cap' makes a slowly spreading deciduous patch of 6" leaves of white with a striking green border and occasional random green streaking. Carex 'Snow Cap' is perfect in moist to average woodland garden soil among ferns and other "greens".
