Carex morrowii, commonly known as Japanese sedge, is an evergreen ornamental grass with a graceful, elegant appearance. Its fine, arching leaves form compact clumps that provide year-round structure and color in the garden. Thriving in partial shade to shaded areas, this hardy plant is perfect for borders, rock gardens or as a groundcover. Carex morrowii is low-maintenance, winter-hardy and provides lasting ornamental value, making it a reliable choice for both modern and natural garden designs.
