Leatherleaf Sedge
Carex Buchananii

This is an unusual grass with fine-textured, coppery-brown foliage that has attractively curled leaf tips and takes on a lovely hint of pink in the summer. It has a unique and beautiful colouring and forms a dense mound of foliage which is ideal for planting on the edge of a mixed border so that it’s allowed to trail gracefully over the lawn. Silvery-white flower spikes which bow to the ground under the weight of the seed heads are produced between July and September, adding further colour and interest to the garden well into the autumn months. It is tolerant of a wide range of conditions and looks great when grown as a specimen plant surrounded by green groundcover.
