Sedge New Zealand Hair Amazon Mist Carex Comans is a compact growing, evergreen, perennial ornamental grass with unique looking foliage. Sedge New Zealand Hair Amazon Mist seeds germinate in 3-4 weeks, and this particular variety of Carex Comans grows forming fountain-shaped, wide clumps of slender, blue-green, white on the underside, grassy leaves. The foliage tips curl back on themselves twisting to revealing the white side, making the perimeter of the clump look misty.
Sedge New Zealand Hair Amazon Mist is an exotic looking ornamental grass with narrow leaves that makes an interesting addition to borders, containers, pots, and the mint colored foliage is very attractive as a ground cover. Carex Comans seeds do not need any special treatment before sowing, and growing Sedge New Zealand Hair Amazon Mist sage requires moist, well drained soil until established at which point it can tolerate periods of drought.
