Overview

An ornamental, arching sedge with evergreen, mounding orange-red foliage. An impressive addition to pots and gravel gardens, this handsome sedge forms a dense, arching mound of orange-green foliage, which in summer is topped with flowerspikes that become taller as the season progresses. The foliage of Carex 'Prairie Fire' is the real star however, and as it's evergreen, it's invaluable for adding warmth and colour to the garden during the winter months.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
