Plant Profile: Carex phyllocephala

When this plant, native to China, is cultivated in large groups, its whorled leaves at the top create the illusion of a grove filled with tiny, variegated palm trees. The green varieties are generally more resilient to cold compared to their cultivated counterparts. It thrives in moist, organic, well-drained soil and features appealing foliage, though it lacks dramatic visual impact.

Structure: Tall, cane-like stems.
