Carex comans 'Amazon Mist'

Amazon Mist is supposedly not hardy to our zone, but we have had good luck growing it in a relatively protected location (fingers crossed that continues!). Even if it doesn't make it through the next winter, we will grow it again in a container or as an annual in the border. It forms perfectly round clumps of fine, frosty green foliage that shimmer in the landscape.

Family: Cyperaceae
Type: Ornamental Grass
Height: 12 in.
Spread: 16 in.
Exposure: Full Sun to Part Shade
