Bunny Blue Sedge is an ornamental grass known for its fine-textured evergreen tufts that suit sun or shade. Bunny Blue Sedge flowers in late summer to fall in shades of tan, and performs best in full sun to part shade with low watering once established. This grass matures to roughly 1-2 feet tall and 1-2 feet wide. It is ideal for adding movement, texture, and winter structure to a border, offering movement, texture, and winter interest. Hardy to zones 4-9 and simple to care for, it settles in quickly and performs year after year. It tolerates dry spells well once its roots are down.
