Bronze New Zealand Hair Sedge, Carex comans 'Bronze Form', Carex comans Brown, Carex flagellifera 'Bronze Form', Carex 'Comans Bronze'
Carex comans Bronze-Leaved is a delightful New Zealand Hairy Sedge forming a low, cascading mound of narrowly linear, reddish-brown leaves with inconspicuous brown flower spikes in late summer. Evergreen, this perennial grass is valuable for its year-round appeal. It is regarded as one of the most beautiful ornamental grasses for the garden, providing a lovely contrast with other plants, mulch, or gravel.
Native to New Zealand, Carex Comans, commonly known as Hairy Sedge, are ornamental grasses featuring clumps of fine-textured foliage, usually pale silvery green, which spills over walls or rocks in a very attractive fashion. Extremely decorative, these perennial grasses are more appreciated for their foliage than their insignificant flowers.
