Grass, Carex glauca

This clumping ornamental grass is a low-maintenance perennial with a compact and mounding habit, perfect for borders, ground cover, or container gardening. Hardy in zones 5-9, it thrives in cooler temperatures and partial to full sun conditions. This plant's blue-gray foliage retains its striking color throughout the year, adding texture to the garden in all seasons. While it does not produce notable flowers or fruit, its fine-textured leaves provide an appealing contrast to broader-leafed plants. It is deer-resistant and grows to a modest height of 12-18 inches. Preferring moist, well-drained soils, it is adaptable to a range of conditions, including sandy or clay soils. Suitable for erosion control and tolerant of light foot traffic, it’s a reliable choice for eco-friendly landscapes.
