Ivory Sedge is one of the best shade plants for any garden. It has beautiful fine foliage. The soft, grass-like leaves only grow about 8 inches tall, making it a perfect companion plant for both short and tall flowers. The compact clumps of Ivory Sedge spread slowly to create a soft groundcover. It is also evergreen throughout winter.Ivory Sedge is great for planting along sidewalks, in-between stone pavers, in rock gardens, and among woodland flowers.
You’ll need quite a few Ivory Sedge plants to fill spaces if you want a groundcover within a few years. If you plant them every 8 inches, that means two plants per square foot. For example, if it’s a 5ft x 5ft space you want filled, you’ll need 50 plants (25sq ft x 2 plants per sq ft = 50 plants total).
