Complemented by spikes of wheat-colored florets in the spring, this perennial adds variegated color and movement to landscapes, decks, porches, and patios. Whether used as groundcover or added to beds, borders, and containers, this sedge, also known as Carex oshimensis 'Feather Falls' and Carex Feather Falls™ ‘ET CRX01’ PP26199, is a superb option to add interest year-round. Growing vigorously, this compact perennial reaches a maximum height and spread of only 12 to 18 inches.

Disease resistant, deer resistant, and drought tolerant, Feather Falls Sedge Grass is genetically equipped to survive regardless of the threats it may face. This variegated, showy sedge is also low maintenance and easy to grow. Even if you are new to gardening and don’t have a lot of free time, adding Feather Falls Sedge Grass to your yard or patio is a first-rate option.
Feather Falls Sedge Grass Care
Plant Feather Falls Sedge Grass in partial shade in an area that has moist, slightly acidic to neutral, well-draining soil. This showy perennial tolerates a variety of soil types including loam, clay, and sand. Possessing average watering needs, this ornamental requires about 1 inch of water per week. Over time, it will tolerate extended dry spells. Depending on the quality of its soil, Feather Falls Sedge Grass typically does not require feeding; however, if needed, add a balanced fertilizer annually during spring.
A low-maintenance selection, Feather Falls Sedge Grass does not require frequent pruning. In colder locations where this perennial is not evergreen, allow dead foliage to remain during the winter. Then, cut back the foliage during late winter/early spring to discourage disease and encourage new growth.
Feather Falls Sedge Grass Spacing
While Feather Falls Sedge Grass is technically a sedge and not a true grass, it can be incorporated as an ornamental grass in landscapes and containers. Attractive whether planted alone or en masse, this hybrid provides interest year-round in borders, beds, containers, and pathways. Mass plantings provide the greatest color effect. Space each plant 18 to 20 inches apart and add other companion plants including as astilbe, fern, and hosta.

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.
