Notes
'Chisai' sedge (Carex 'Chisai') is a grass for borders, shade gardens, and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It stays evergreen, so it gives you color all year. Butterflies and birds visit it, and it blooms in spring and summer.
Pairs well with Smooth hydrangea, Japanese forest grass, Bottlebrush buckeye, and Nelly Moser clematis.
