Introducing Carex testacea, a truly striking ornamental grass perfect for adding dynamic colour and texture to your garden borders. This hardy perennial forms a dense clump of grassy foliage that undergoes a beautiful seasonal transformation. Starting as a subtle olive-green during the summer months, it gradually matures into a rich, eye-catching orange-bronze as autumn arrives, offering vibrant hues throughout the cooler seasons. Its gently pendulous habit creates an attractive, spreading mound that brings movement and visual interest to any landscape, particularly thriving in prairie-style planting schemes. Carex testacea is an evergreen species, ensuring your garden retains structure and colour even in the depths of winter. It's ideal for creating layered planting effects and adding a touch of wild beauty. With a mature height and spread of up to 1m (39"), it makes a statement plant, bringing both height and a fine-textured element to your garden design. How to Grow Light: Full sun to partial shade.
