Need an ultra-cool plant for a small container? The cuteness factor for Frosty Sedge is off the charts. A deer resistant Cyperaceae member from South Africa, it has short and frosty grass-like tufts of green leaves edged silvery-white. I first saw this plant at Cultivate in Columbus, OH in 2018, where it won an award a year later. We absolutely love its unique look in a container. Bring it inside for winter and grow as a house plant.
