Carex Prairie Fire is a stunning evergreen ornamental sedge, celebrated for its warm copper-bronze to bronze-red foliage that brings rich, fiery tones to the garden throughout the year. Unlike many ornamental grasses that fade in winter, this evergreen perennial holds its striking colour and graceful arching form across all seasons, making it one of the most reliable and visually rewarding sedges available.

This pack includes three established Carex Prairie Fire plants, each supplied in a 9cm pot. They are ready to be potted on into larger containers or planted directly into garden borders as soon as they arrive. Whether grouped together for a bold display or used individually to add punctuation to a planting scheme, these plants offer excellent value and make a thoughtful gift for any garden enthusiast.

Plant Growing Conditions

Carex Prairie Fire is a versatile and shade tolerant ornamental grass that performs equally well in full sun or partial shade. Once established, it develops good drought tolerance, making it a superb low maintenance choice for busy gardeners. Its compact, clump-forming habit keeps it neat and tidy year-round, and it excels in containers and patio pots as well as open garden borders and ground cover plantings.

Variable Heights: The height of our plants can vary by approximately +/- 10%. This natural fluctuation ensures you receive a unique and healthy specimen.

Plant Pot Sizes: Pot sizes may vary by approximately +/- 1cm. To ensure a proper fit, we recommend selecting a decorative pot that is 1-2cm larger than the stated plant pot size. For instance, if you purchase a plant in a 17cm pot, a 18 - 19cm decorative pot would be ideal.
