Plant of the Day
Monday 5 January 2015
A sea of texture provided by a planting of Carex comans ‘Frosted Curls’ (New Zealand Hair Sedge) and the larger Phormium (New Zealand flax). This Carex is an evergreen perennial with narrow arching silver-green leaves forming a dense dome-shaped clump
about 30cm x 30cm. Here it is grown as groundcover and given room to show off its form but it also looks good when grown in a container with the foliage cascading over the edge. A plant that will grow in most soil conditions but does best with free draining soil. They will tolerate hard cutting back to refresh the foliage.
