'Prairie Fire'


'Prairie Fire' (Carex testacea)

Such a lovely grass. I've added a few of these, some small some quite large like this one. I do hope they prove to be very hardy as I'm beginning to really love grasses now!

love these Karen - I think they need a little protection in very cold frosts

I've only just started with grasses Paul and Angela. I really didn't like them much for years. Funny how you change your mind in time isn't it? What I've realised is how good they are at blending other perennials and the contrast in texture they offer. I love the evergreen ones now.

My Mum used to hate them - when we went garden centre she'd see me with one everytime and go - oooh God not another one :D then as I planted them in a big collection she said they do look stunning and now loves grasses - I am a grass converter lol
