This stunner was introduced by renowned plantsman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/author\/daniel-hinkley\">Dan Hinkley<\/a>. It sports dark green, fine blades that create a mound of arching evergreen foliage and looks good in all seasons, staying relatively neat and tidy year-round.<\/p>\n<p>This sedge doesn\u2019t need to be cut back, and though it will sometimes throw out a few inflorescences, don\u2019t worry\u2014it doesn\u2019t reseed readily. With deep, rich soil and consistent moisture it can take full sun. Otherwise, partial shade is the ideal place to site \u2018Fine China\u2019.

But it also loves to hang out among shrubs, where it easily rambles into the branches of sturdy neighbors, giving the illusion that the scaffolding plant is the one putting on a bloom show. The bright lobed leaves and magenta flowers add interest to spots where there would normally be none.<\/p>\n<p>Think of \u2018Ann Folkard\u2019 as a clematis (<em>Clematis<\/em> spp. and cvs., Zones 4\u20139), just on a smaller scale. Never aggressive, it is a welcome filler in the spaces between nearly any group of plants.
