Bring graceful texture and year-round interest to your garden with Carex Feather Falls™. This variegated sedge forms cascading mounds of narrow, arching foliage with deep green centers and creamy white margins, creating a soft, waterfall effect that shines in containers, borders, and mass plantings.
Unlike traditional Carex oshimensis types, Feather Falls™ offers improved sun tolerance, thriving in part shade and handling more sunlight without losing its vibrant color. Evergreen in mild climates, it provides lasting structure and contrast throughout the seasons.
This award-winning hybrid was developed by Bart Noordhuis and Elisabeth Bisschop of Exceptio Plants in the Netherlands.

FEATHER FALLS™ is an evergreen variety that performs best in light to partial shade and rich soil with dry to average moisture. It tends to suffer in extreme heat. In northern climates, it should be sited out of the way of winter winds and provided with some protection such as snow or straw. If plants look tattered in early spring, cut them back to the ground. The new foliage will quickly fill back in.
