Carex 'Feather Falls'
This refined, grass-like perennial forms flowing mounds of slender, arching foliage that gently spill outward, creating a soft and calming presence in the garden. Its fine texture adds contrast among broader-leaved plants and brings year-round interest with its evergreen habit.
In spring, subtle flower spikes appear, adding a delicate seasonal detail without distracting from the elegant foliage. The cascading form makes it especially effective along pathways, at the front of borders, in containers, or tumbling over low walls, where its movement can be fully appreciated.
Adaptable and reliable, it grows well in full sun through to shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil. Once established, it is resilient and low maintenance, requiring little more than an occasional tidy to remove older leaves.
Perfect for modern, naturalistic, or woodland-style gardens, this versatile plant offers softness, structure, and gentle motion throughout the year, making it an invaluable companion plant in both small and large landscapes.
