Unlike Rhynchospora colorata, this is much slower to spread, much taller, and with massively larger flower heads. The showy white flower heads top the 3' tall spikes, starting for us in mid-May (NC), and often reblooms through the summer months. Our three year old clumps have spread to 2' in width. It prefers pitcher plant habitats, growing fine in peat bogs, but also thrives in other constantly moist organic substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42450485837911,"sku":"18087","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Rhynchospora-latifolia-Class-of-Charleston.i-18087.s-68343.r-1_107cb781-e656-40a7-a184-d4e4e9b55898.jpg?v=1776863104"},{"product_id":"molinia-caerulea-ssp-arundinacea-cordoba","title":"Molinia caerulea ssp arundinacea Cordoba","description":"\u003cp\u003eMolinia 'Cordoba' is another of the amazing architectural selections of moor grass which sophisticated garden designers adore.

For us, the flowering season runs from late spring until early fall.

Hailing from Canada south to Texas, this represents some of the most heat tolerant southern germplasm. For us, it forms a dense semi-evergreen clump to 2' tall x 3' wide. In spring, the attractive flower stalks cascade gently over the mounds of foliage...quite attractive. It is the most ornamental in part to full sun, and in soils with average to good moisture. After trialing it for years, we find it odd that it seems completely absent from the horticultural trade, perhaps because the on-line pictures don't begin to do it justice.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42450493767767,"sku":"18609","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Carex-debilis-Simply-Sabine.i-18609.s-68282.r-1.jpg?v=1777979330"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/collections\/ornamental-grasses_97619442-c399-403c-802a-69446d8ee0e5.jpg?v=1664903066","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.com\/collections\/decorative-ornamental-grasses-tall-small-dwarf-plant-varieties.oembed","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
