Don't shoot up quickly, maybe because I planted it in a pot.

Description

Carex morrowii 'Variegata' is a magnificent variegated variety for partial shade. This variety differs from the botanical species with its narrow, glossy green leaves marginated with cream. It produces underground stolons, allowing it to form beautiful dense clumps without becoming invasive. The foliage remains decorative throughout winter, even when the temperature drops below -13°C (8.6°F), as we experienced in January 2009.

 

Carex morrowii 'Variegata' prefers moist to wet, even clayey, rich soil, that remains moist in summer. It enjoys partial shade and tolerates competition from other plants.

Planting and care

Plant in a planting hole measuring 20x20x20cm (8x8x8in). If your soil is heavy, mix some compost with the crumbled soil, partially fill the hole, and place your plant so that the top of the root ball is covered with 3cm (1in) of soil. Firmly press the soil down and water generously to eliminate air pockets. In dry weather, you will need to water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate the establishment of your young plant.
