Carex gentilis ssp nakaharae Yushan Cardamine Helleborus x sahinii 'Winterbells' isWe discovered this fantastic sedge on Taiwan's highest mountain, Yushan (Nantou County), at 7,400' elevation. In our garden, Carex gentilis ssp. nakaharae 'Yushan' has made a stunning 18" tall x 3' wide, finely textured, evergreen specimen. I find Carex gentilis ssp. nakaharae a marvelous textural addition to the woodland garden.
