What are the landscaping uses for Carex chathamica in NZ?

Carex chathamica is a great choice for landscaping projects across NZ. It is commonly mass planted either as a ground cover or on a bank, included in borders or mixed plantings, or planted around outdoor living areas such as pools and barbecue areas. This hardy, NZ native grass is also perfect for wetland areas, swampy sites, and anywhere with heavy soils. Carex chathamica is favoured for its colourful foliage, tidy form, and versatility.

Carex chathamica care and maintenance

The most important part of Carex chathamica care is to make sure they have a soil that does not dry out. The next critical elements are weed control and The Plant Company recommends an organic mulch is spread around the plants after planting. They should be fed in spring with a native plant fertiliser. At this time any dead leaves can be removed. The plants are generally not trimmed aside from removing spent flower heads if desired. They rarely suffer from any pests or diseases but you may want to keep an eye out for mealy bugs. Overall, they are a very low maintenance plant and easy to care for.
