Height and Width
- Height: Typically reaches a height of 30 to 45 centimetres.
- Width: Spreads out to a width of about 45 to 60 centimetres.
Soil Type
- Soil Preference: Carex 'Feather Falls' prefers well-drained soils. It can thrive in a variety of soil types including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. It performs best in slightly acidic to neutral pH soils but is quite adaptable to different soil conditions as long as they are well-draining.
Plant Description
- Foliage: The plant features long, arching leaves that are green with creamy-white margins. The variegated foliage provides a striking contrast and remains attractive throughout the year.
- Growth Habit: Carex 'Feather Falls' has a clumping, grass-like growth habit. It forms dense tufts that spread slowly over time, making it ideal for edging, ground cover, and container planting.
Flower Description
- Flower Colour: The flowers are small and inconspicuous, typically brownish in colour.
- Flower Shape: The flowers are produced on slender spikes and are not a significant ornamental feature of the plant.
- Blooming Season: Carex 'Feather Falls' blooms in late spring to early summer. However, its primary appeal is its foliage rather than its flowers.
- Attracts Wildlife: The plant does not particularly attract wildlife for its flowers, but its dense foliage can provide shelter for small garden creatures.
Cultivation and Care
- Watering: Requires regular watering during its initial growth period. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture, especially during dry periods.
- Sunlight: Prefers partial shade to full shade. It can tolerate full sun in cooler climates, but in hotter regions, partial shade is recommended to prevent leaf scorch.
- Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Removing old or damaged leaves as needed helps maintain a tidy appearance.
- Fertilising: Benefits from a balanced, slow-release fertiliser applied in early spring to promote healthy growth.
Additional Notes
- Pests and Diseases: Generally pest and disease-resistant. Good air circulation and proper spacing can help prevent any potential issues.
- Uses: Ideal for use as ground cover, in borders, rock gardens, and containers. Its attractive variegated foliage makes it a versatile choice for adding texture and colour to various garden styles.
