Carex
testacea * Orange Sedge
|
| Carex testacea has such an unusual orange
color that it will bring an exotic new look to a garden. The loose flowing blades of
Carex testacea trail very softly. I have had virtually no seedlings from this
plant, so don't expect it to become a pest.
I have found success with plantings in well drained moist gardens. I have
lost plantings where the temperatures dropped into the teens with heavy soils. I am
not sure which was the greater culprit, the cold or the soggy soils. Orange Sedge looks great in mass plantings as
well as mixed into the gray garden
