Carex oshimensis 'Feather Falls' is a unique ornamental grass known for its cascading, bright green foliage, resembling a gentle waterfall, which adds a graceful texture to garden landscapes.

'Feather Falls' is low-maintenance, needing only occasional trimming to remove dead or damaged foliage. While not a significant wildlife attractor, its cascading form can provide shelter for small insects and animals.
