Carex flacca 'Blue Zinger' – Blue Sedge
A standout selection of Blue Sedge, Carex flacca 'Blue Zinger' offers slightly larger, more upright growth than the species and holds its striking blue-grey color better through the seasons. A grass-like evergreen perennial, it forms a low, clumping groundcover that tolerates light foot traffic, boggy conditions, and deer — making it a versatile workhorse for shaded borders, rain gardens, and naturalistic plantings. A magnet for butterflies too.
