Description
Carex 'Feather Falls' is a new variety of resistant and easy-to-grow hybrid sedge. With its long, slightly curly, variegated evergreen leaves, this false grass forms a small, unique, and sculptural tuft, perfect for bringing life to borders, edges or containers on a patio or balcony all year round. Its spring flowering of small beige spikes with white beards enhances its decorative appearance. Versatile and perfect for adding style to any setting, this carex tolerates sun, cold, and even moderate drought periods!
Carex 'Feather Falls' is a sedge belonging to the Cyperaceae family; it is a cousin of grasses to which it bears a resemblance. It is a recent Japanese variety, introduced to the market in 2016. This hybrid is derived from Carex oshimensis, a very hardy Japanese botanical species, widespread in the rocky undergrowth of Honshu Island. 'Feather Falls' is a small herbaceous plant with short rhizomes that forms a tuft with a compact, light, upright and gracefully trailing habit, measuring about 35cm (14in) in all directions. It does not sucker, but increases in size year after year. Its linear, gramineous, evergreen leaves measure up to 35 to 40cm (14 to 16in) in length. Their edges are tapered and their tips trailing. Their greenish-grey hue is tinged with a white margin with cream highlights. In May, beige and white spikes measuring 1 to 3cm (1in) long appear just above the foliage, carried on slender stems measuring 40cm (16in) in height. It is worth noting that this hybrid perennial sedge will live for many years in the garden.
The 'Feather Falls' sedge is a small 'herb' with refined foliage and a minimalist style, which will form a bouquet of bright foliage gently overflowing from containers. Its design does not require the presence of another plant beside it, but it will complement its neighbours and bring lightness to voluptuous perennials. Plant it en masse along a path, at the forefront of flower or shrub beds. Its texture contrasts with that of fern fronds, and its flexibility complements the roundness of heucheras with fantastic colours. In the sun, this carex will be superb with slightly taller grasses (Stipa pulcherrima, Pennisetum advena 'Rubrum', Muhlenbergia capillaris). For a beautiful wild effect, plant it en masse in a contemporary or country garden.

Planting and care
Carex 'Feather Falls' adapts to all types of soil, as long as they are relatively light and well-drained. However, it prefers soils rich in humus and leaf compost. Once well established, it tolerates periods of moderate drought, but will require more regular watering in case of dry summers. This makes it an easy grass to grow and succeed with. It adapts to all exposures, tolerating the sun well, but its foliage will be brighter in partial shade or dappled sunlight. Plant when all risk of frost has passed. Water generously when planting. Avoid excessive fertiliser inputs. Remove damaged foliage during the growing season and prune the clump at the end of winter, just before the start of new growth.
Growing in pots will require more abundant watering and fertilisation in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
