This hardy perennial grass forms a graceful, arching mound of fine, hair-like leaves that brings year-round colour and texture to beds, borders, gravel gardens and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally hailing from New Zealand, Carex testacea 'Prairie Fire' is well suited to the UK climate and is remarkably low-maintenance once established. Its compact, clump-forming habit makes it an excellent choice for adding movement and natural warmth to both contemporary and cottage-style planting schemes. It also works beautifully as ground cover or as a softening accent alongside pathways and patio edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy ours\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown by us in Yorkshire, in peat-free compost, shipped in plastic-free packaging.
