Carex morrowii 'Ice Dance'
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.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The white-edged foliage brightens dark beds, but the effect is more clean and steady than dramatic. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It spreads well enough for groundcover use without behaving like a fast-running problem plant. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established, it mainly needs cleanup of tired foliage and attention during dry spells. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother ornamental grasses; the bladed foliage is not a favorite, though hungry deer may nip tender new growth. |
| Small Space Fit | A | It stays low and tidy enough for bed edges, walkways, and smaller shade gardens. |
| Screening Value | F | This plant is groundcover, not a screen, and should not be used for privacy. |
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.

It is a sedge, used like an ornamental grass but better suited to shade.
Yes, it spreads into a groundcover, but it is not a tall running grass.
It handles average to moist soil well, but avoid constantly flooded spots.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
