Ignite your garden with the glowing autumnal tones of Carex testacea 'Prairie Fire'. This striking ornamental grass is famous for its narrow, upright blades that start olive-green and transform into an intense, fiery orange-bronze as the seasons progress. The colour becomes even more vibrant when planted in full sun or during the cooler winter months.

As an evergreen sedge, 'Prairie Fire' provides constant texture and warmth to your garden through all four seasons. Its fine-textured foliage and arching habit make it a superb choice for adding movement and a modern "prairie" feel to borders, gravel gardens, or as a stand-out feature in patio containers. Supplied established in a 2L nursery pot.

Key Features:

  • Intense Fiery Colour: Foliage transitions from green to deep burnt-orange and copper for year-round warmth.

  • Evergreen Interest: Maintains its structural form and vibrant colour throughout the winter.

  • Dynamic Texture: Fine, arching blades add movement and a soft, naturalistic feel to any landscape.

  • Sun Loving Performance: Colour is most intense when grown in full sun, making it perfect for bright spots.

  • Low Maintenance: Extremely easy to care for and highly resilient against the British weather.

Planting & Care Instructions:

  • Position: Full sun is best for the brightest orange colour, but it will also grow well in partial shade.

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil. Adaptable to most soil types but avoid very waterlogged areas.

  • Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant.

  • Maintenance: Low maintenance; simply "comb" through the foliage with your fingers in late winter to remove any dead or brown blades.
