Carex testacea 'Prairie Fire'
Carex testacea 'Prairie Fire' is a striking evergreen sedge with fine, arching foliage in warm coppery-bronze tones that intensify in full sun. Forming a loose, cascading mound, it brings movement, texture, and vibrant colour to borders, gravel gardens, and containers throughout the year. Its glowing tones contrast beautifully against mulch, stone, or darker foliage.
Hardy and versatile, ‘Prairie Fire’ thrives in well-drained soil and performs well even in coastal conditions. Low-maintenance and adaptable, it is ideal for contemporary planting schemes, mixed containers, or adding warmth and structure to year-round displays.
