White Top Sedge

Feast your eyes on the crisp ‘flowers’ of  White Top Sedge  Its slender, grass-like foliage provides a lush, green backdrop for the true stars of the show: cute-as-a-button white bracts that resemble pom pom flowers– but really are bleached, modified leaf parts!

Hardy, native thrives in moist soils and is a breeze to grow. It’s great in the ground in a wetish area.

But I love a mini-wetland in a container, too. Pair it with Stokes aster, our mini-Crinum origanum (also an American continent native), or the fascinating blue flowers of Eryngium. 

We ship Three 2.5 inch plugs per order. Plant these three in an 18-inch round saucer pot with the bottom hole plugged for a lovely summer bog garden of snowy white flowers.
