Bowles' Golden Sedge (Carex elata 'Aurea') Plant - Grass-like Plants. The Bowles' Golden Sedge botanically belongs to the Cyperaceae family, and is mainly native to the European continent. It is an herbaceous, perennial and evergreen species, moderate growth rate, arching in habit, with dense canopy and a height of about 70 cm. The variety 'Aurea' is particularly ornamental. The main ornamental feature of the plant is its linear, arching, variegated leaves. Their colour is light golden yellowish green with darker green margins. The ornamental greenish flowers appear in late spring, borne on spikelets growing on top of triangular-shaped stems. Then, thanks to the panicle-like inflorescences, another aesthetically attractive element is added to the plant. The Bowles' Golden Sedge is quite easy to grow, as it adapts to many different environments. It seeks sunny or half-shade locations, tolerates very low temperatures and almost any soil type, from acidic to alkaline. It is used in many ways both in gardening and in landscape architecture. Among other things, it can even be planted in shallow water 5-7 cm deep.
