Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Carex morrowii ‘Ice Dance’ — Variegated Japanese Sedge
The Carex morrowii ‘Ice Dance’, also called variegated Japanese sedge, is a perennial grass with soft and bright foliage, emerald green edged with cream. Elegant and robust, it brings structure and freshness to balconies, terraces, and urban flower beds.
Its fine texture and resilience make it a perfect ally to create a natural and calming atmosphere, even in small outdoor spaces. An ideal choice for a zen and graphic urban jungle.
Exposure & Location
The Carex ‘Ice Dance’ thrives equally well in partial shade or gentle sun. It tolerates various exposures and adapts perfectly to urban conditions.
- Ideal: planter, window box, border, or pot on balcony and terrace.
- Avoid: the scorching afternoon sun in very hot regions.
- Perfect location: semi-shaded area, alongside plants with contrasting foliage.
Verdeia tip: pair it with ferns or hostas for a zen and fresh composition.
Watering & Maintenance
- Watering: regular during the first year to encourage rooting, then moderate.
- Soil: fresh, well-drained, and slightly moist, without excess water.
- Pruning: cut dry leaves at the end of winter to stimulate new growth.
- Maintenance: very easy — an almost self-sufficient grass once established.
- Level: easy to medium — ideal for beginner urban gardeners.
Even in a pot, light mulching retains moisture and reduces watering in summer.
Decoration Ideas & Plant Combinations
The Japanese sedge ‘Ice Dance’ gently structures plant compositions. Its variegated foliage brightens shaded areas and creates lovely contrasts.
- Visual look: modern Japanese ambiance, fresh and balanced.
- To combine with: ferns, heucheras, hostas, or black ophiopogons for a graphic effect.
- Ideal pot: matte ceramic, stone fiber, or gray metal to highlight its light tones.
- Where to place it: in borders, compositions, or solo pot on a contemporary terrace.
In a pot, combine it with a trailing plant to soften lines and create movement.
Verdeia Tips
- Repotting: every 2 to 3 years, in spring or autumn.
- Substrate: mix of garden soil and well-draining universal potting soil.
- Hardiness: very good — withstands down to -15°C.
- Foliage: evergreen all year round, even in mild winter.
Perfect for creating a durable and low-maintenance green corner on a terrace or balcony exposed to partial shade.
