Carex testacea 'Prairie Fire'
OUT OF STOCK
Carex testacea, also known as Prairie Fire, is a stunning evergreen grass that produces vivid green leaves tipped with a brilliant bright orange. The foliage turns a darker burnt orange in autumn, produces brown flower spikes during summer and adds warmth and colour during the bleak winter months. A great addition to any garden, this amazing evergreen has something to offer throughout the year! Ideally plant within the front of garden borders, rockeries or patio containers where they look great sat alongside contrasting colours of shrubs or grasses. This wonderful variety will thrive in all areas of the garden from sunny to the most shaded locations, in fertile, well-drained soil. Height and spread 50cm. 9cm pot plants supplied.
