Ivory Sedge (Carex eburnea) 12 or 72-pack of plugs
Can be shipped.
Ivory Sedge Note: For spring, we are only shipping 72-packs of plugs. Unlike the rest of our plug species, Ivory Sedge grows very slowly and will probably not be ready by May shipping or pickup. Instead, we will instead ship these as soon as they are ready—likely in mid-June or July. If you place a shipping or pickup order that includes Ivory Sedge and also includes other plants, we will ship or have you pick up all of your other plants on the date you select during checkout, and then we will ship the Ivory Sedge trays separately when they are ready in mid-June or July (we will give you a 1-2 week heads up to make sure the shipping week is OK).
What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. Read more here.
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 plugs to fill spaces if you want a groundcover within a few years. 72-plants might seem like a lot, but with a small plant like Ivory Sedge, more is better. 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).
