Carex
buchananii * Leather Leaf Sedge
|
| The red-brown hues of the Leatherleaf
Sedge, Carex buchananii, make this plant stand out strikingly against gray
plants and light backdrops. The leaves are rigid and straight making
this an interesting counterpoint to other ornamental grasses. I like
using grass like plants in association with water. This one is
planted next to a small pond
and bridge. I have been
surprised to see how drought tolerant Carex buchananii can be.
