Rhynchospora colorata

We were mesmerized when we first spotted white-topped sedge at a botanical garden - and we knew we had to grow it! Strappy bracts float above grassy foliage. The bracts are a stark white that bleeds into deep green tips. They fall towards the earth as graceful as a shooting star and as wispy as a whisker.

Combine water and white-topped sedge for a zen escape. It must have consistent moisture. Whether in a bog garden, along a stream, or in a wet ditch, this native sedge will brighten any spot.
