Carex testacea 'Prairie Fire'

Genus: Carex
Species: testacea
Variety: 'Prairie Fire'
Plant Type: Evergreen Grass

This excellent Sedge has fine, elegantly arching leaves of olive green with orange tints in the sun, greener if in some shade. In the autumn the whole plant takes on a burnished orange colour, again with the best colour in sunnier sites. A great contrast plant for mixed borders and softening edges.
