Pendulous Sedge (Carex Pendula) Native Shallow water plant
Pendulous Sedge (Carex Pendula) is a native shallow water plant marginal pond plant. It looks good as a pot plant but will also form large clumps if left to naturalise. It produces tall strap-like leaves which are almost evergreen. In summer it sends up arching stems to 92cm (36in) bearing the long pendulous catkin-like seedheads which can be up to 15cm (6 ins) long and a great source of winter food for the birds.
- Carex pendula is a strong growing plant can either be treated as a marginal pond plant or a moisture loving plant.
- Height to 152cm (60in).
- Prefers moist soil but can be planted in water up to 5cm deep

- We would recommend a planting basket of at least 11cm across for one plant or for more impact, plant several of the same variety in a larger basket. If you plant this plant into a larger pot it will grow into it over time.
