It grows 2 to 3 feet tall, larger than most sedges, and lights up shady or damp corners like a patch of sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a true moisture lover that thrives in wet soil and even in shallow standing water up to about 2 inches deep, making it ideal around ponds, streams and rain gardens. It looks especially good next to blue-leaved hostas, and deer usually pass it by.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong, narrow, grass-like leaves about ¼ inch wide are bright golden yellow with a very thin green edge. They grow upright from the base and arch gracefully at the tips, forming a loose, fountain-shaped clump 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Small, dark brown flower spikes appear briefly in spring among the leaves. Through summer the plant is a glowing, arching mound of gold, most vivid in bright shade near water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBowles Golden needs constantly wet soil and part shade, so plant it beside a pond, in a rain garden or in a damp, shady bed far from the dry lavender rows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in part shade in fertile soil that stays constantly moist or wet; it can grow in up to about 2 inches of standing water.
