'Blue Zinger' sedge (Carex flacca) is a remarkable deer and drought resistant ground cover for either sun and shade. This versatile grass-like plant, officially known as a sedge, is an ideal plant that thrives in a wide range of soil types and exposures.
Blue Zinger has fine textured arching blue foliage. It spreads moderately by underground stolons (eventually getting 24" wide) to form a "filled in" colony of blue in your landscape for 3+ seasons. In warmer climates, it stays evergreen. Carex is pest free and winder hardy. A practical choice for areas where other plants fail thriving in both moist and dry locations.
