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.
