Ornamental grasses are a wonderful low-maintenance landscaping solution, and while the Silver Sceptre Sedge Grass earns this distinction, it is also a stunning perennial that dresses up a bed or border. Carex morrowii has long, narrow foliage with a green center stripe and silvery-white along the edges. The long leaves gently curl like ribbons and gently sway in the breeze.

This sedge is an adaptable plant that can handle full to partial sunlight. It makes a wonderful groundcover or can be used to introduce texture and foliage to a bed or border. Silver Sceptre Sedge Grass is a clump-forming plant with a tight form. The foliage is deer-resistant for added convenience, and this plant grows as a perennial in USDA zones 5 through 8.

Silver Sceptre Sedge Grass Care

Plant in full to partial sun. Use fertile soil that is moist and well-drained, and water when the top few inches of soil are dry. This sedge is not a heavy feeder, and rich soil will support plenty of growth. A light application of balanced fertilizer in the spring will help if grown in low-quality soil.

Remove damaged growth as necessary. This plant will retain its foliage as an evergreen, but it may go dormant in cold climates.

Silver Sceptre Sedge Grass Spacing

The gently curling leaves of the Silver Sceptre Sedge Grass will reach about 1 foot tall and wide. Space this sedge grass 8 to 10 inches apart to create a full, carpet-like look.
