Carex comans ‘Frosted Curls’
Carex comans ‘Frosted Curls’ is a stunning ornamental sedge prized for its fine silver-green foliage that gracefully curls and cascades to create a soft, flowing effect in the garden. Its unique texture, drought tolerance and year-round appeal make it an excellent choice for Melbourne gardens, where it shines in borders, mass plantings, contemporary landscapes, rockeries and decorative pots.

Frosted Curls is one of the most versatile ornamental grasses for modern Melbourne landscapes.
