Looking for a pop of silver-blue for a shade garden? Look no further than Carex glauca ‘Blue Zinger’. With fine blue-green blades and a silvery, glaucous sheen, this sedge is sure to draw attention. A native to wetland and grassland areas of Europe, ‘Blue Zinger’ grows taller than the species, between 1-2’ tall and wide. Cold hardy to 10° F, plant this sedge in partial to full shade, where it is drought tolerant once established. Or plant in part to full sun near the coast, where it will require some irrigation. It even tolerates some standing water, making it a good choice in vernal and riparian environments. Use Carex glauca ‘Blue Zinger’ in masses to create a silver carpet or as accents in mixed borders.
