Carex Comans Bronze

Let me introduce you to the warm, rustic elegance and distinct architectural fluid movement of Carex comans 'Bronze Form' commonly known as Bronze Hair Sedge. This highly versatile, evergreen ornamental sedge forms a low, dense, symmetrical hummock of ultra fine, hair like blades. The striking foliage features a rich, coppery bronze to warm reddish brown hue that catches the light beautifully. Its long, thin leaves gracefully cascade outward like a botanical fountain, waving gently in the slightest breeze to add continuous movement to garden borders, rockeries, path edgings and cold season container layouts. I love it because it acts as an evergreen anchor, maintaining structure throughout the autumn and winter when most of your garden other perennials have died back.

Full sun to partial shade. The bronze coloration achieves its richest, glossiest copper depth when exposed to bright sunlight, though it adapts easily to light, dappled woodland shade.

Comans bronze likes a free-draining location with excellent drainage. Provide routine watering during dry spells over its first growing season to anchor the roots.

There is no need to clip or mow this evergreen sedge down to the ground. Instead, maintain its pristine appearance in late winter or early spring by wearing gloves and gently running your fingers through the cascading tuft to draw away any older, weathered or dead blades.
