Sedge – Ice Dance (Carex)

Choose Ice Dance Sedge if you need a spreading, deer-resistant groundcover for shade with clean variegation. Tradeoff: it is not a tall grass, so it will not give screening or strong upright movement.

• You want variegated foliage.
• You prefer deer resistance.

Skip This If

• Your site bakes dry.
• You want a native sedge.

PGNE Report Card

Our Experience

At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Ice Dance Sedge where customers want a practical shade groundcover, not a showy ornamental grass. Give it decent moisture while it settles in, especially near tree roots.
