Ice Dance Sedge 1 Live Ornamental Grass-Like Plant, 1 Gallon – Carex morrowii ‘Ice Dance’

Ice Dance Sedge (Carex morrowii ‘Ice Dance’) is a variegated, grass-like ornamental perennial valued for its elegant foliage, spreading growth habit, and year-round garden interest in suitable climates. Its narrow, arching leaves feature rich green centers bordered by creamy white margins, creating a bright, textured appearance that complements shaded garden beds and woodland landscapes. Although commonly grouped with ornamental grasses, Ice Dance belongs to the sedge family, Cyperaceae.

This Japanese sedge develops dense, arching clumps that gradually spread through short underground rhizomes, forming an attractive groundcover. Its variegated foliage is especially useful for brightening partially shaded areas, edging pathways, softening garden borders, and adding texture beneath shrubs and trees. Ice Dance generally performs best in partial shade to full shade and prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soil. It is often evergreen in milder climates but may experience foliage browning or seasonal dieback during colder winters.

Each order includes 1 live Ice Dance Sedge plant supplied in a 1-gallon nursery container. The plant is rooted and container-grown. Foliage density, coloration, and overall appearance may vary naturally with the season and growing conditions.
