Blue Zinger Sedge is a tough, low-maintenance ornamental sedge prized for its striking blue-gray foliage and exceptional adaptability. Forming dense, arching clumps that slowly spread into an attractive groundcover, it adds year-round texture and cool color to borders, woodland gardens, rain gardens, and naturalized landscapes.
Unlike many ornamental grasses, Blue Zinger thrives in both sun and partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, from average garden soils to periodically wet sites. Its deer resistance, drought tolerance once established, and easy-care nature make it one of the most versatile ornamental sedges for landscapes throughout New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine.

Easy ordering, delivery and installation! Highly recommend ordering from Pro Growers of New England.
The two gentlemen that did the arborvitae installation were absolutely excellent. They listened to exactly what we wanted, mapped out the spots, and worked quickly and thoroughly to get it done. Outstanding work!
