What are the landscaping uses for Carex solandri in NZ?

Carex solandri is a great choice for landscaping projects across NZ. It is commonly mass planted either as a ground cover or on a bank, or included in borders or mixed plantings. 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.
