      Low weeping mounds of tough but fine textured, keeled, grassy foliage are tinted bright orange, most intensely over winter, a foliage colour very rarely encountered. Inconsequential tassel-like flowers are borne during spring and blend in amongst the foliage.

      One of the choicest New Zealand sedges and certainly one of the hardier varieties in our climate, easily grown in any soil and tolerant of some drought. Superb when planted with other brightly coloured grassy plants, succulents, as a foil for your favourite purple foliaged shrub or as a feature in a glazed pot.

      Dividing and replanting every couple of years or so, when too many old leaves have accumulated, is a better option than cutting back which leaves unsightly stubble visible for a long period.
