Ivory Sedge (Carex eburnea) 128-cell tray
Can be shipped.
Note: These are very small plugs—grown in a 128-cell tray. The soil plug dimensions are 1.25” across and 2” deep.
Ivory Sedge is one of the best shade plants for any garden. It has beautiful fine foliage. The soft, grass-like leaves only grow about 8 inches tall, making it a perfect companion plant for both short and tall flowers. The compact clumps of Ivory Sedge spread slowly to create a soft groundcover. It is also evergreen throughout winter. Ivory Sedge is great for planting along sidewalks, in-between stone pavers, in rock gardens, and among woodland flowers.
You’ll need quite a few Ivory Sedge plugs to fill spaces if you want a groundcover within a few years. 72-plants might seem like a lot, but with a small plant like Ivory Sedge, more is better. If you plant them every 8 inches, that means two plants per square foot. For example, if it’s a 5ft x 5ft space you want filled, you’ll need 50 plants (25sq ft x 2 plants per sq ft = 50 plants total).
