Carex Texensis

 

Texas Sedge

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. 'Texas Sedge' is a rhizomatous perennial sedge that forms a low, fine textured, shiny, deep emerald green mat. The foliage is 3-6” long and semi-evergreen. Green flower spikes appear in late Spring.

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.
