Carex 'Ice Dance'

The luminous Carex 'Ice Dance' weaves brilliant year-round illumination and clean geometric structure into low-light settings. This exceptional Japanese selection features shiny, leathery, dark emerald-green blades neatly tailored with prominent, crisp white margins that create a shimmering, silvery look on the woodland floor. Developing into a tidy, dense, semi-evergreen tufted mound, it spreads gently via underground rhizomes to establish a low-maintenance ground cover that suppresses weeds and naturally resists deer browsing while retaining its outstanding variegated color even in winter climates.

Incorporate this premium specimen into layered shade gardens, where it pairs flawlessly with delicate, shade-loving ferns, dense architectural sedges, or the colorful plumes of dramatic astilbes to build rich textural layers.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
