Carex comans 'Amazon Mist'
Carex 'Amazon Mist'
Carex is an ornamental sedge with many different varieties now available, in a range of colours and textures. Ornamental grasses tolerate a wide range of conditions, but most like a sunny position in light, moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil. They do not need much feeding and just one application of a balanced fertiliser in spring is adequate. 'Amazon Mist' is a tufted evergreen sedge that has fine arching foliage that cascades outwards in shades of green and silver. An excellent feature for mixed borders or containers.

Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Suitable for mass planting and for planting as a specimen in a container. Plant in any soil that doesn't get too dry. Use a good quality general purpose compost for container growing. New plants are best planted in early to mid-spring. Water in well and keep well watered during the plant's first year.
