Carex buchananii


Leatherleaf Sedge

USDA Zone: 6-9

Plant number: 8.090.250


The most well-known of the many Hair Sedges from New Zealand, performing best in regions with similar mild winter climates. Plants form upright clumps of very fine, hair-like leaves in a most unusual bronzy-cinnamon colour. Outstanding as a colour contrast in the border. Also nice in the rock garden or containers. Plants are inclined to self seed, but may also be easily divided in the spring. In cold climates these winter best with excellent drainage. Evergreen.
