Ribbon Falls Sedge 1 Live Ornamental Grass-Like Plant, 1 Quart Pot – Carex ‘Ribbon Falls’

Ribbon Falls Sedge (Carex ‘Ribbon Falls’) is a graceful, clump-forming ornamental sedge valued for its long, narrow, arching green leaves and flowing, fountain-like appearance. Although it resembles an ornamental grass, Carex belongs to the sedge family, Cyperaceae. Its cascading foliage adds soft texture and movement to landscape beds, mixed borders, decorative containers, and woodland-style gardens.

The main ornamental feature of Ribbon Falls Sedge is its ribbon-like foliage, which emerges from a central clump and curves outward in a relaxed, flowing habit. Its green leaves create a layered appearance that works well along pathways, at the edges of raised beds, and in outdoor planters where the foliage can spill over the sides. Like other sedges, it may produce small, inconspicuous flower spikes, but it is primarily grown for its foliage rather than its blooms.

Ribbon Falls Sedge grows in full sun to partial shade, with some protection from intense afternoon sunlight beneficial in hotter climates. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and moderate watering, especially while establishing. Depending on the local climate, its foliage may remain evergreen or semi-evergreen, while colder winter conditions can cause seasonal browning or dormancy.

Each order includes 1 live Ribbon Falls Sedge supplied in a 1-quart nursery pot (QT).
