Description

Carex ornithopoda Variegata is a compact, clump-forming, evergreen perennial sedge, about 20cm tall, with tufts of arching white variegated, glossy green leaves with narrow, creamy-white margins that reach a height of 30cm. Produces brown flower spikes within the foliage, during mid to late spring.

Pencilled arching leaves only 12" high make this a fine variegated sedge for rock gardens or other spots which invite a close look.

Environment

They will thrive in fertile, well-drained soil in sunny or partially shaded areas of the garden.

Cut out any dead leaves in summer.Plant out as soon as possible. Effective if planted then surrounded by pebbles. Plant in the border or in containers.

Landscape Use

This eye-catching ornamental Sedge is the perfect choice for adding character and depth into the front of garden borders, rockeries or patio containers and complements contrasting colours of shrubs well.

Foliage plants in general need access to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid keeping them in direct sunlight as it can cause leaves to burn due to extreme sunlight in the afternoon.

Make sure watering is done once the soil goes dry. Although the soil can remain moist, but it should not turn soggy/wet. Having drainage hole in the pots goes a long way in ensuring there is no water stagnating on top of the soil. You can spray the plant occasionally.

Fertilise the plant once a month in summers however Don't feed any fertiliser in winters. Giving fertiliser to the plant ensures nutrients going in which keeps it healthy. Keep an eye on the leaves of the plant to know any symptoms for watering or sunlight.
