Rhynchospora colorata (Star Rush) is an evergreen grasslike perennial boasting striking daisy-like flowers with 5-6 long, drooping, white bracts from late spring to early fall. The blossoms attract insect pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The foliage consists of narrow, long and tapering green blades that arise from the base of the plant. Native to Virginia south to Florida and west to Texas, Star Rush occurs naturally in wet coastal areas, dunes, and along roadsides and ditches. This unique and long-lived perennial sedge slowly spreads by rhizomes. A plant for shallow water at the edge of the pond or for the bog garden. It can make an interesting groundcover in moist landscapes.
(syn: Rhynchospora colorata) From the savannah and marsh regions of coastal Virginia through Florida comes this truly bizarre member of the sedge family. The slowly spreading patches (3' wide in 2 years) of Dichromena colorata are composed of sedge-like foliage until mid-May (NC), when the 15" stalks are topped with spectacular white bracts (modified leaves) that surround the tiny flowers. While dichromena will prosper in all but the driest of garden soils, it prefers a moist boggy site, right beside the leaking water garden pool. If you've got a horticultural know-it-all nearby, I bet a white-top sedge will fool them! We previously offered this clone as Dichromena latifolia, which is the name we obtained it under, but have concluded it to actually be Dichromena colorata...apologies.

Das Weiße Schnabelried Sternentänzer ist eine Rarität und eine Bereicherung des Teichrands oder jedes anderen feucht gehaltenen Standortes: Mit seinen wie über den Blättern tanzenden, cremeweißen Sternblüten trägt es seine Zweitnamen Sternentänzergras oder Stern-Sumpfgras zu Recht. Auch unter dem Namen Floridagras ist das elegante Ziergras bekannt. Die zierlichen Blütensterne schmücken den Weißen Schnabelried Sternentänzer zudem außergewöhnlich lang; erscheinen oft bereits im Mai und halten bis in den Oktober hinein. Eine Zierde nicht nur des Teichrandes oder jedes anderen sumpfig-feuchten Platzes, sondern auch für den Japangarten oder sogar für den Pflanztopf bestens geeignet! Die anmutigen Blüten werden übrigens eingerahmt von weiß-grünen, grazilen Hochblättern, die ihnen ihr sternförmiges Aussehen verleihen und bestäubende Insekten anlocken. Ein idealer Pflanzpartner ist das Lampenputzergras , das mit dem dunkelgrünen Blattwerk unseres Schnabelrieds federleichte Farb- und Formspiele eingeht. Sternentänzer gedeiht an einem sonnigen bis licht halbschattigen Standort und wird auch im Garten am besten im Topf in die Erde gesetzt, um zum Winter hin in ein frostfreies Quartier gebracht werden zu können. Das Substrat sollte nahrhaft, feucht, durchlässig und von lehmig-mineralischer Qualität sein.

Star grass (Rhynchospora colorata) growing, care, seeds, benefits, uses and facts. How to properly care for and plant white star sedge in ponds.
Rhynchospora colorata is a sedge native to the southeastern coastal plain. It is naturally found in wetland habitats, and grows best in full sun to part shade with soils that are moist to wet. This sedge has green foliage that can grow up to two feet tall and dies back mostly in the winter. It flowers in the summer and attracts many pollinators. While the flowers themselves are insignificant, they are framed by bright white leaves (bracts), which create the appearance of long lasting, star-shaped flowers. This plant is fairly resistant to deer and has a slight salt tolerance. Rhynchospora colorata is an excellent choice as a specimen plant in a wet part of a yard or rain garden, or to use for stormwater control.

Wenn es im Garten nicht mehr blüht, beginnt die große Zeit der Ziergräser. Sie bringen die Farbtupfer im Herbst und im Winter in den Garten. Ziergräser eignen sich auch hervorragend für Umfassungen und Einrahmungen von Beeten oder anderen Flächen. Aber auch als Solitärpflanze können Sie im Herbst den entschiedenen Farbtupfer im Garten sein.

Rhynchospora colorata is een papyrusachtig grasje afkomstig uit het zuidoosten van de Verenigde Staten waar het in vochtige en moerassige gebieden groeit. Vormt grasachtige groene bladeren. De bloei bestaat uit lange, hangende witte schutbladen met groene tippen, rond een cremewit hart. Verspreidt zich langzaam door wortelstokken. Verlangt een warme plek in de zon of halfschaduw. Zorg dat de plant altijd vochtig staat, een kleine schotel onder de pot is meer dan genoeg voor hem. Kan in ondiep water staan aan de rand van de vijver. Is in ons klimaat niet winterhard en moet dus op een vorstvrije plek overwinteren, de potgrond ook dan vochtig houden. In het vroege voorjaar kan men de dode bladeren verwijderen.
