Carex 'Ice Dance' (Ice Dance Sedge) - This is a 12 to 15 inch mound-forming sedge that slowly spreads by rhizomes. Its ½" wide dark green leaves are distinctly variegated with creamy-white margins. Plant in full sun (coastal) to part sun or shade and water regularly. A good edging plant or use as a groundcover or container plant. Hardy into USDA zone 4 where foliage can be damaged but rebounds. This plant was selected by horticulturist Barry Yinger during a collection trip to Japan and was introduced in the US by Hines Nursery in 1996. It has previously been marketed as Carex morrowii 'Ice Dance'. Carex morrowii is a clump forming plant with narrower leaves.
This information about Carex 'Ice Dance' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
