Gracefully flowing ribbons of lovely green leaves that float up and out, before cascading down, the glossy foliage of the Ribbon Falls Sedge PP#29950 (Carex oshimensis 'Ribbon Falls') will have you swooning!
Forming touseled mounds of curly, ribbon-like leaves, these mounds of showy greenery spreads into small clumps about 2 feet wide at maturity. Growing just 12-18 inches tall, small summer flowers are not overly ornamental, and these plants are grown mainly for their impressive foliage.
The Ribbon Falls Sedge can be evergreen in warm areas of the country, in cooler climates of USDA planting zones 5 to 9 will see these grasses grow as perennials that return every spring. Growing 12 - 18 inches tall and spreading 18 - 24 inches wide at maturity.
Landscape Application:
The Ribbon Falls Sedge is hardy, versatile, and looks amazing in hanging pots and mixed planters! Even a pretty urn of just these curly Sedge grasses all on their own as a specimen planting becomes a fantastic container accent on porches and patios! Try even potting Ribbon Falls in window boxes and container gardens if you are an apartment or balcony gardener!
These touseled foliage ornamentals look fantastic as front-of-the-garden border accents and as a finishing touch along the edges of your garden beds and the sides of pathways and stairs for a curly and glossy green transition between hardscapes and landscaping bed.
All this fancy texture is amplified when used in groupings or in a mass planting, creating shiny drifts and whimsical swaths of delight to fill the bare ground!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
This Grass-like ornamental thrives in a variety of conditions, from full sun to shade! This Sedge loves rich soils with good moisture for the best growth possible! If needed, use a general-purpose fertilizer during the growing season. A layer of mulch around the base of the Sedge is a great idea to help maintain moisture during drier seasons.
We suggest cutting off the seed heads for a cleaner effect. In late winter or early spring, trim off any damaged foliage or individual leaves before it starts growing again. Evergreen plants can simply have any dead foliage get raked out of the plant in the early spring.
- Full Sun & Part Sun/Shade
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate To High Moisture Locations
- Prune/Mow Early Spring
