Carex comans Bronze Bronze New Zealand Hair Sedge is the warm-toned counterpart to the green species form, and one of the most celebrated ornamental grasses in the world. A delightful New Zealand Hair Sedge, it forms a low, cascading mound of narrowly linear, reddish-brown leaves with inconspicuous brown flower spikes in late summer regarded as one of the most beautiful ornamental grasses for the garden, providing a lovely contrast with other plants, mulch, or gravel. A low growing sedge with drooping, spreading leaves reaching 30–40 cm high, its reddish-brown foliage is tipped with often-blonde leaf ends, and the flowering stems lie along the ground as they mature giving it a soft, spilling quality that is quite unlike almost any other plant. Where the green form brings freshness and movement, the bronze form brings warmth, depth, and a rich earthy glow that complements almost any planting scheme.
