Carex Blue Wave 140MM

Carex glauca 'Blue Wave'

I am Carex Blue Wave. My family originated from Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia.

Habit Strappy - Great for Patio Pots
Plant family Acanthaceae
I am an attractive foliage plant with blue-grey wavy grass like leaves. I am perfect for patio pots, useful as a low growing border or planted at the front of mixed garden beds where my foliage contrast may be used to great effect. I prefer a position in full sun to part shade. I am an easy-care plant that is adaptable to most soil types and growing conditions. I tolerate periods of dryness and require minimal water once established.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I have attractive fine frosty-green leaves that flow elegantly in a breeze
I am an ideal choice for rock gardens, group plantings and near ponds
Hardy I am ideal for coastal planting, exposed windy locations and tolerant dry conditions
