Carex brunnea 'Aureovariegata' is a variety of sedge that is distinctly variegated with cream to golden yellow. This small grass, which persists in winter, is both refined and bright, with undeniable sculptural appeal. It forms a tuft of upright foliage that looks proud in partial shade, where it finds the coolness it appreciates. Its discreet summer flowering takes the form of small white-cream spikes that turn brown with age. Elegant and versatile, this variety will make a great impression as a border plant, in a cool rock garden, by a pond, in a pot on a balcony, or even as an indoor plant in a cool room. Plant it in partial shade in moist to wet soil, preferably humus-rich.
Carex brunnea 'Aureovariegata' belongs, like all sedges, to the large Cyperaceae family. It is native to Asia (Japan). This small grass with short rhizomes forms a fairly flexible, slightly hairy, dense, upright tuft, measuring about 35 to 40cm (14 to 16in) in all directions. Its rootstock slowly spreads without becoming invasive. Its leaves are evergreen if not exposed to severe frost. They are slightly arched and sheath at the base. They measure about 4mm (1in) wide and approximately 35cm (14in) long. Their margins are tapered and their tips barely trailing. They have a fairly light green colour, finely edged with golden yellow to cream throughout their length. In July-August, short cream spikes measuring 2 to 4cm (1 to 2in) appear among the foliage on slender stems about 40cm (16in) tall. At maturity, they turn brown. This carex can tolerate temperatures as low as -8 to -10°C (17.6 to 14°F).
Carex brunnea 'Aureovariegata' is an elegant, minimalist plant that appreciates cool, semi-shaded environments. Its sculptural design does not require the presence of another plant by its side. However, this plant will bring lightness to the lush foliage of Rodgersias, the plumes of German ferns, and will also pair well with colourful Heucheras. Since this grass appreciates moist to wet soils, it will naturally find its place in a cool rock garden, a water garden, among mossy stones on riverbanks, or on the edge of a water feature. Also, place it along the borders of perennial beds. For a beautiful wild effect, plant it en masse in a contemporary or country garden.

Botanical data
It prefers moist, clayey and humiferous soils that are not too calcareous. It tolerates very wet areas quite well. It requires a semi-shaded or even shaded exposure, sheltered from direct sunlight. It tolerates moderate and short periods of drought quite well. This easy-to-grow grass requires very little maintenance. Plant it outside the frost periods and water abundantly when planting. Avoid heavy fertiliser inputs. Remove damaged foliage during the growing season and clean the clump in late winter, just before the start of vegetation.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
