Buy Prairie Fire Sedge online. Creates a fiery display of color when planted in ground covering sweeps. Its upright, slender, green-bronze foliage is tipped with orange highlights. In full sun this deep orange coloring will intensify creating a dramatic look that blends well with hot-colored perennials and yellow-green shrubs. Coloring persists through most of the winter in warmer climates. This New Zealand native does best in moist, well-drained soil, but will adapt to drier conditions once established. Its size and upright habit make it a great focal point in mixed containers. Part of the ColorGrass® series, Prairie Fire™ is a seed selection of Carex testacea.
