Carex laxiculmis is a petite perennial sedge that forms mounds of foot-tall lush shaggy foliage. The leaves are semi-evergreen with a striking blue-green color. In late spring, greenish scaly flower spikes are displayed above the foliage. This sedge occurs in moist woods or can be used as an accent or groundcover in a shade garden. Carex laxiculmis grows in compact clumps of arching foliage. Plants gradually form small colonies from short underground rhizomes. [NewMoonNursery.com]
