The famous horticulturist E A Bowles discovered this golden version of the native British sedge growing in the wild in East Anglia, and brought it into cultivation. It is a superb plant for the water's edge or any sunny place in damp soil. It is clump-forming, producing tall, arching, grass-like foliage in a bright gold colour edged with green. Chocolate-brown catkin-like flowers are produced in spring, with green seed heads below them in early summer. The brown catkins remain on the plant all season, giving a long display. The plant is so good that it has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
