Carex solandri

5

Carex solandri is a NZ native, ornamental grass that features attractive, dark green foliage. The foliage emerges upright and develops a gentle and graceful arch as it expands. Dark brown seed heads in summer add an interesting element to this plant, which grows to 70 cm tall and the same width. Carex solandri is commonly added to woodland plantings, planted in shaded areas of the garden, grown around pond or stream areas, included in mixed plantings or borders, or mass-planted either on a bank or as a ground cover.

Carex solandri is currently unavailable, but we do have other other amazing species and varieties of Carex available.

This hardy, NZ native grass is also perfect for wetland areas, swampy sites, and anywhere with heavy soils. Carex solandri is favoured for its foliage, tidy form, and versatility.

Carex solandri care and maintenance

Carex solandri is a hardy New Zealand native sedge that thrives in moist, well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. It is ideal for forest margins, damp banks, or riparian zones. Once established, it requires minimal care; occasional watering during prolonged dry periods will help maintain vigour. Remove old or damaged foliage in late winter to keep the plant tidy. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
