Carex testacea Prairie Fire
New Zealand sedges are ornamental evergreen grasses that form clumps of graceful stems in tones of bronze, chestnut, and yellow. They work well in beds mixed with perennials and small shrubs. Prairie Fire has very fine, olive-green foliage that takes on coppery-orange hues as autumn approaches.
