Prairie Fire Sedge ~ Carex testacea 'Prairie Fire' 19CM

Prairie Fire Carex, a low-growing sedge, changes colors with the seasons. Growing 24-28 in. tall with a 18-24 in. spread, it has grass like foliage that goes from olive green, to orange, to reddish brown. The more sun this ornamental grass receives, the more orange the foliage turns. In early summer, red-brown plumes open above the upright foliage. Prairie Fire Carex adds color, texture and movement to containers, landscapes and gardens.
