Bunny Blue Sedge Grass (Carex laxiculmis) is a small but striking native grass to add to any rock garden, border, or other areas of the landscape. In addition to its wide, nearly metallic foliage, the grass provides great cover for wildlife and as a groundcover to help keep weeds down or reduce erosion. The grass boasts bluish-green foliage that reaches about 1 foot high and just over a foot around. Plant it as a border along walkways, or even between stepping stones.
You’ll enjoy that pretty foliage all year long, since Bunny Blue Sedge Grass also is evergreen. It grows best in full shade to partial sun, so it’s a versatile ornamental grass for rock gardens and other landscape uses. Tiny goldish brown flowers top the foliage in late spring or early summer. This little sedge is hardy to zones 5 through 9, so it can handle winter cold and summer heat. The grass grows to only about a foot high and 15 inches around and is a deer-resistant plant.
Bunny Blue Sedge Grass Care
Plant Bunny Blue in shade or part shade (no more than 4 to 6 hours of sun a day) for best performance. It can grow in average soil, but will benefit from adding organic matter to support growth and soil drainage. This sedge grass prefers moist soil that drains well so it does not get soggy. Water consistently and a little more during peak heat and afternoon sun.
This plant is low maintenance and requires little help to thrive. In late winter, cut the grass close to the ground to rejuvenate it before spring growth. It requires no fertilizer, but might benefit from the addition of organic plant food, a low-nitrogen fertilizer, or a top dressing of compost once each spring.
Bunny Blue Sedge Grass Spacing
Space your plants at least a foot apart to give the clumps room to grow and cascade a little. For a border effect, you can plant them a few inches closer to one another, but be sure to consider their mature spread.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
