Silver Sceptre Sedge

Plant in spring or fall in moist, well-drained soil in partial shade, spacing 12–18 inches apart. Silver Sceptre is a variegated Japanese sedge with attractive white-margined, arching green leaves that provide a clean, bright effect in shaded settings. Incorporate compost into the planting area and water well. Mulch lightly to retain moisture. Consistent moisture and protection from hot sun are important.

Remove old or tattered leaves in spring to keep plants looking their best. Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Fertilize lightly in spring. The clean white and green variegation brightens shaded areas effectively. A reliable, long-lived sedge for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and mixed containers where a refined, variegated foliage plant is needed throughout the growing season.
