Full details
The Carex Ice Dance Sedge is an ideal ornamental grass for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, year-round color solution for rock gardens, patio pots, or border edging. This hardy plant features striking green and gold foliage that creates a graceful, arching aesthetic without the tendency to spread aggressively. While it is highly versatile, potential owners should note its maximum height of one foot, which makes it better suited for foreground planting rather than as a tall privacy screen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your plants thrive, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Soak the 9cm pots in a bucket of water for 15 minutes before planting to ensure the root ball is hydrated.
- Soil Conditions: Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil. Mix in organic matter if the soil is heavy clay.
- Planting: Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and plant at the same depth as the container. Backfill and firm the soil gently.
- Spacing: When planting the three provided plants, space them approximately 30-40cm apart to allow for mature growth.
- Maintenance: While the plant is sun-loving, ensure the soil remains moist during the first growing season. Once established, prune back dead or damaged foliage in early spring to encourage healthy new growth.
