Carex comans bronco 2 Plug Plants

Mature Spread:   12 inches

Flower Colour:      Inconspicuous

Mature Form:       Clumps - weeping

Foliage Colour:     Pale Green

Growth Rate:         Moderate

Autumn Color:      Silvery

Sun Exposure:     Partial sun

  

Carex Comans, a native ornamental grass of New Zealand, has slender arching, grassy leaves that grows in a wide clump that resembles a fountain. They are silvery-green and seem to shimmer when blown by a breeze or, if planted in pots, resembles falling water with the leaves draped over the pot. Though it resembles an ornamental grass, it comes from a different family all together, and like many of its fellow sedges, is more versatile than ornamental grasses, being tolerant of both full sun and partial sun and moist to almost-wet soils, and not attractive to deer. Also, once estabished, will even tolerate dry soil.  The tiny flowers appear in clusters atop thin stems in mid-summer. The narrow leaves give this plant its common name, hair sedge. They are evergreen in warm climates, perennial in colder climates, where they wither and brown in autumn but nonetheless lend color to the winter garden. Remove the brown leaves in late winter to make way for the new leaves in spring
