Gold Strike Japanese Sedge is primarily valued in the garden for its cascading habit of growth. Its attractive grassy leaves emerge creamy white in spring, turning yellow in color with distinctive dark green edges and tinges of gold. The foliage often turns brown in fall.
It is an herbaceous evergreen perennial grass with a shapely form and gracefully arching stems. It brings an extremely fine and delicate texture to the garden composition and should be used to full effect. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season.
