Carex buchananii ^Sale

Carex buchananii

Description:
Ornamental sedge native to New Zealand. It forms fine, upright tufts of copper-bronze to reddish-brown foliage that gracefully arch at the tips, creating a soft, flowing texture in the garden. The foliage colour deepens in full sun and adds a warm tone to mixed plantings. Small, inconspicuous brown flower spikes appear in summer, adding subtle texture without detracting from the foliage display.

Height:

40–60 cm

Width:

40–60 cm

Position:

Full sun to partial shade. Hardy and wind tolerant; suitable for coastal and frost-prone areas

Soil:

Prefers free-draining soil; tolerates a range from sandy to loamy; avoid heavy, waterlogged soils

Uses:

• Ideal for border plantings, rock gardens, and mass planting
• Excellent for contrasting colour and texture in mixed beds
• Great for containers and modern landscapes
• Suited for coastal gardens and low-maintenance plantings

Care Tips

• Keep moist during establishment; once established, it tolerates some dryness
• Do not cut back hard. Instead, comb out old or dead leaves in late winter or early spring to refresh appearance
• Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring if growth is sluggish
• Can be divided every few years in spring to maintain vigour
• Low maintenance; resistant to most pests and diseases
