Shears Nursery Carex Pendula

Carex Pendula Grass

Pack of 6 plants

NEW variety for 2007. An easily
grown perennial herb, this is noted
for the memorable and invigorating
lemon fragrance of its leaves,
used in cold drinks, teas and in
salads or puddings.
The flavour decreases as plants
flower, and they lose their fresh,
lush appearance, but bees and
other pollinating insects are
attracted to them and that's why
the alternative name for this is
bee balm. It is a good idea, then,
to leave a few to bloom and to
cut others back to maintain a
supply of young foliage. Regularly
trimming gold forms will preserve
their bright, fresh appearance and
prevent any all-green shoots from
taking over.

This new variety has a striking 2
tone appearance during early
growing months.

Brilliant for the container, or with
other grasses in the border.
