Turfgrass Information

Oehme Palm Sedge, Carex Muskingumensis 'Oehme'

Big Bluestem

Full sun to part sun, Cool-season

A variegated version of the Palm Sedge, where the leaves have yellow margins. Did not perform as well as the non-variegated ones in the trial the first year.

It continued to have reduced vigor than its non-variegated companion in the second year, but the foliage is quite pretty.
