Introduced by Head Ornamentals of South Carolina, Carex laxiculmis 'Hobb' (marketed under the name bunny blue) is a low-growing cultivar of eastern native spreading sedge. This hardy, clump-forming perennial is a fetching accent for garden paths, with foot-long, grassy, silvery-blue leaves. Planted in groups, it forms a bushy, Seussian groundcover. bunny blue prefers partial to full shade, but kept well hydrated, it will tolerate sun and heat.
