Good plant #136 -Uncinia 'Belinda's Find'

This is an evergreen sedge with 'wow' factor stripy foliage.  It is ideal for bog gardens, moist shady areas and near pond edges.  I think it looks amazing in a low-sided pot as a specimen too, especially next to Carex Morrowii 'Ice Dance' - another sedge.

If you do use a pot for Belinda's Find, line it with a plastic bag with only a couple of holes and fill with  a 50:50 topsoil:compost mix plus water retaining crystals to make boggy conditions.

This plant has to have moist and fairly fertile soil conditions and does not like full summer sun.

You can divide this plant in spring.
