The rich, rusty copper-bronze, fine leaved foliage makes Carex buchananii ‘Red Rooster’ one of the most popular ornamental coloured grasses available.
Tufted and erect in growth, they start as a tight vertical plant and grow into a vase shaped clump with an upright arching form, the tips of the thin linear leaves curl as they mature. Growing to a height of around 60cm, the narrow, triangular blades flex gracefully in the breeze.
Carex is an all round tough plant suitable for problem areas, this low-maintenance plant quickly becomes established in borders or containers. It is extremely versatile with regard to soil types, tolerating dryness, salt winds and sandy drought-prone soils and yet will adapt to quite boggy situations. Hardy to around minus 10°C . It is disease, pest resistant and evergreen and will provide valuable winter interest to the garden.
Carex is outstanding when planted with silver foliage plants, brightly coloured flowers or variegated grasses. They give colour, texture and movement in the perennial garden. They look good as a specimen in a pot or planted informally in groups or 3, 5 or more, dotted among herbaceous plants and ground cover.They are at their most effective when planted close together in show-stopping block planting. For glorious colour, plant in full sun to partial shade.
