Ficinia truncata ‘Ice Crystal’

Ficinia truncata ‘Ice Crystal’ is a dwarf, evergreen, grass-like perennial featuring slightly recurved, green leaves with frosty white margins. In late Spring to Summer, small, unshowy brown flower spikes appear.

Frosty Sedge is excellent used at the front of a border, in a rock garden, mixed container, or even as a groundcover. This ornamental grass is quite easy care, tolerant of average soils, with limited space. Just make sure there is good drainage, especially in the cool, wet winter months.

Native to South Africa, the plant has been long cultivated as an ornamental, but is relatively new to cultivation in the US  and should prove to be nice in irrigated mixed planting beds, borders, rock gardens or in containers.
