Forming a dense tussock of slender, silvery green leaves, which become curled towards their tips, this undemanding evergreen will tolerate most conditions. It's primarily grown for its foliage, which offers year-round interest, but it will also produce tiny, green flower spikes in summer. It's perfect for adding interest to winter pots, or for low-maintenance ground cover at the front of the border.
How to care for Carex comans Frosted Curls:
Comb through the plant in winter to remove dead foliage. Feed with a general purpose fertiliser during the growing season and if necessary, lift and divide over-large clumps in early spring.
