Carex myosuroides
Carex myosuroides, commonly known as mousetail sedge, is a fine-leaved alpine sedge suited to cool, moist garden settings such as rock gardens, alpine troughs, or streamside plantings. It is an undemanding plant that performs best in partial shade with consistently moist, humus-rich soil. Little maintenance is needed beyond occasional tidying of old foliage in early spring.
