Orange New Zealand Sedge: Carex testacea



Orange New Zealand Sedge is a Winter show stopper. The leaves of this plant turn from an olive green to a burnt orange color late in the season. It can handle partial sun to full shade and likes moist, well drained soils. Average size is 18" by 18" and the bloom is virtually indistinguishable from the leaves.
