Carex buchananii

Bring warm, metallic color to your plantings with Carex buchananii (Leatherleaf Sedge). Its showy, copper-bronze foliage grows in an upright, arching clump up to 2 feet high, providing year-round interest. The fine texture contrasts beautifully with broad-leaved plants.

Versatile and easy to grow, it thrives in full sun to partial shade. Excellent in containers where its cascading form can spill over edges, or massed in landscapes for a drift of copper color. A low-maintenance, evergreen grass-like perennial.
