Carex Amazon Mist

She is bright and she is breezy and she brings an ethereal touch to your plant collection, she is Carex comans 'Amazon Mist' . This exceptionally graceful evergreen ornamental grass-like sedge forms a dense, cascading fountain of ultra-fine, hair-like blades. Each leaf is a pale, shimmering sage-green with a bright silvery reverse and a unique, playful twist or curl at the very tips. The overall effect mimics a cloud of mist hovering over your garden beds or spilling elegantly out of container rims. While it handles sunny borders easily, it stays visually striking and vibrant in lightly shaded or dappled woodland environments.

Ensure you plant it in a space where water can drain freely. It is incredibly adaptive, coping well with poorer soils, breezy coastal spots, and short dry spells once established but avoid total waterlogging especially in winter.

Like all evergreen sedges, do not mow or cut 'Amazon Mist' to the ground. Instead, refresh the plant in late winter or early spring by wearing gloves and gently combing through the fine blades with your fingers to lift away older, dead, or browned tip
