{"product_id":"carex-appalachica","title":"Carex appalachica","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarex appalachica is a superb sedge, native from Quebec south to South Carolina, that's a must for shade gardeners. Naturally occurring in dry woodlands, even underneath hemlocks, Appalachian sedge is adaptable to almost all garden conditions...except swamps. The very narrow, weeping, mop-top looking, deer-resistant foliage makes an airy, 18\" wide clump. When used singly or en masse, the textural contrast near bolder elements is simply stunning. If you've been looking for a shady replacement for an unmown lawn or a hairpiece that matches your green thumb, look no further.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn late winter, we like to shear back the old foliage which often looks a bit tired after the winter.
