Carex testacea 'Priarie Fire'

0.5m x 0.5m

Grow in moist but well drained soil or compost.  It will not like sitting wet during cold winter months and has a tendency to sulk and rot off.  Also, give it a drink, especially if in a container during dry summer spells.  Full sun or part shade is ok.  Cut out dead leaves as and when

This is a brilliant shorter grass, bringing colour and artitecture to gardens and containers.  Great in mixed herbaceous planting, perennial pots, gravel gardens, naturalistic planting schemes etc.

Can be divided in early summer to increase your numbers.  Seedlings may also appear in your garden.
