Carex ‘Moon Falls’

Common Name:
Moon Falls Sedge

Description:
Carex ‘Moon Falls’ is a striking ornamental sedge featuring elegant, arching foliage with creamy-white margins and rich green centres, creating a luminous effect in shaded and semi-shaded garden spaces. This clump-forming, grass-like perennial is known for its compact, fountain-shaped habit and year-round texture, making it ideal for borders, woodland gardens, containers, and mass planting under trees. In Melbourne’s climate, ‘Moon Falls’ thrives in part shade to full shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil but tolerating periods of dryness once established. It maintains its form beautifully through all seasons and adds soft movement to garden compositions. While it produces small, brownish flower spikes in spring and summer, its primary appeal lies in its refined foliage. With minimal care requirements and excellent versatility, Carex ‘Moon Falls’ is a perfect choice for layering texture into both naturalistic and formal landscapes.
