Carex Tenuiculmis Nz
Carex tenuiculmis
Carex tenuiculmis is a NZ native, ornamental grass that features striking red-bronze foliage held with a graceful arch. It grows as a tidy clump, reaching approximately 75 cm in height and 50 cm in width, preferring moist or boggy soil and a full sun position. Carex tenuiculmis is commonly planted around ponds or alongside streams, used in wetland plantings, mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, included in borders or mixed plantings, or grown in a container. A mass planting creates a visual spectacle and is the best way to showcase this plant.
