Carex ‘Frosted Curls’

 

Bring a touch of whimsical elegance and year-round texture to your garden with this unique ornamental sedge.

Carex ‘Frosted Curls’ is an enchanting evergreen ornamental sedge known for its distinctive, fine-textured foliage. Hailing from New Zealand, this graceful plant forms neat mounds of incredibly slender, metallic-green leaves that beautifully curl and cascade, creating a delicate, weeping fountain effect. The tips often shimmer with a silvery, “frosted” appearance, especially in cooler weather or morning dew, giving it its captivating name.

This sedge is a fantastic choice for adding sophisticated texture and movement to containers, borders, or mass plantings. Its elegant form and shimmering foliage catch the light beautifully, making it a standout feature in any garden design.
