Carex comans 'Bronze form'

 

Bronze sedge

Original:Plants form a low, cascading mound of very fine grassy leaves in a wonderful bronzy-brown shade with a few brown flower spikes. New:Carex 'Bronco' grows in an arching habit with bronze/brown foliage for accent in beds or containers. Looks truly amazing when mass planted in closely sited clumps at the front of a border or on a slope.

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Mid Spring

Suitable for mass planting and for planting as a specimen in a container. Plant in any soil that doesn't get too dry. Use a good quality general purpose compost for container growing. New plants are best planted in early to mid-spring. Water in well and keep well watered during the plant's first year.
