Carex testacea
Carex testacea, commonly known as the Orange Sedge, is a striking New Zealand native grass-like sedge characterised by its fine, arching foliage that turns a coppery-orange hue when grown in full sun. This clump-forming plant thrives in a range of conditions, from coastal gardens to dry banks and borders. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil but will tolerate partial shade and moderate drought. Carex testacea adds bold colour and texture to landscapes year-round and is excellent for mass planting or containers.
