Product information
Dichromena colorata, commonly known as star grass or white star sedge, is a graceful, grass‑like marginal plant with slender, upright green foliage topped with delicate, white star‑shaped floral bracts. These eye‑catching bracts rise above the foliage from mid‑summer into late autumn, creating long‑lasting visual interest in pond margins, bog gardens, and moist borders. This plant supports pollinating insects with its abundant late‑season flowers, and its dense clumping habit provides shelter for small wildlife along wet edges. Its elegant form and extended flowering period make it a valuable addition to naturalistic and wildlife-focused planting schemes.
