Carex flagellifera


Orange Hair Sedge

 USDA Zone: 6-9

A delightful species from New Zealand, growing best in regions with a similar mild-winter climate. Plants form a low, cascading mound of very fine grassy leaves in a wonderful bronzy orange-brown shade. Especially effective as an edging, in the rock garden or in containers. Flowers are insignificant. Clumps may be easily divided in spring, but plants may also self seed. Evergreen where hardy. Drought tolerant.
