Carex muskingumensis Oehme Plant Delights Introductions For over three decadesThis 1994 Plant Delights JLBG introduction was found by our friend, the late Wolfgang Oehme of Oehme and Van Sweden (famous landscape designers), who asked us to introduce it. This sport from Wolfgang's garden has the typical growth habit of the North American native (Canada south to Arkansas) Carex muskingumensis forming a semi evergreen clump of 18" tall stalks which look like miniature palm trees, but with a clear yellow border around the leaves.
