Carex buchananii 'Red Rooster'

Plant details

A superb evergreen plant, great for a mixed perennial border, for show-stopping block planting, or even as a feature plant in a container. It's extremely versatile, tolerating almost any soil, (even boggy) and aspect. Its narrow, triangular blades are bronze-red and flex gracefully in the breeze. It is disease- and pest-resistant and being evergreen it is very low-maintenance.
