Isolepis Live Wire
Isolepsis Cernua is commonly referred to as Live Wire or Fiber-optic Grass. A member of the Sedge family, this ornamental is widely used in containers and in landscaping mixed with colorful bedding plants. Its foliage may start to yellow when temperatures dip to 45° F. The slender grassy tendrils grow in a thick clump and curl over to make a unique spray of color resembling a fountain. Delicate silvery flowers appear atop its tiny stems, making it appear as a tuft of tiny fiber-optic threads. They are fantastic in containers alone, edging a pathway, or with beautiful mounds of color or as a center, surrounded by color. Whatever your choice, this plant is fairly easy to please. Height 6-8". Spread 18-20".
