Carex Morrowii Boot

Carex morrowii ‘Boot’, also known as Japanese Sedge, is a highly desirable evergreen ornamental grass renowned for its neat, architectural form and year-round appeal. This compact variety forms dense, upright clumps of narrow, rich green, grass-like leaves, typically reaching 30-45 cm in both height and spread. Valued primarily for its foliage rather than its subtle spring flower spikes, ‘Boot’ provides excellent textural contrast and a lush, verdant presence in the garden. It thrives in partial to full shade, making it an invaluable plant for illuminating dim garden corners or beneath trees. Preferring consistently moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil, it exhibits good tolerance to a range of soil types once established. This low-maintenance sedge is ideal for mass planting as a resilient ground cover, defining borders, or as an elegant container specimen. Furthermore, it’s notably deer resistant and relatively free from pests and diseases, offering a reliable and enduring solution for shade garden landscaping, particularly in woodland or Japanese-themed designs.
