Frosty Curls Hair Sedge
Carex comans ‘Frosty Curls’
Frosty Curls Hair Sedge is a uniquely textural and ornamental grass that adds movement and a soft, frosted appearance to the garden. Its incredibly fine, hair-like leaves are a silvery-green with curled tips, creating a dense, mop-headed clump that sways gracefully in the breeze. The overall effect is one of softness and whimsy. Drought-tolerant and adaptable, it thrives in sun or part shade and is perfect for adding contrast and fine texture to borders, rockeries, or modern container designs.
