Carex panicea (Marginal Aquatic)

Carex panicea is a graceful, grass-like perennial ideal for softening pond edges or enhancing boggy spots with a naturalistic feel. Its fine, blue-green foliage forms neat, semi-evergreen clumps that bring texture and colour all year round. Delicate brown flower spikes appear in summer, arching elegantly above the leaves. A native to the UK, it not only adds visual charm but also offers shelter and habitat for aquatic creatures and other wildlife. Perfect for low-maintenance, wildlife-friendly gardens. Ultimate height and spread: 20-30cm (8in to12in).
