Carex buchananii (Curly Top Sedge) - Evergreen. The unusual 'brownish' coloring of this sedge along with the curling at the tips of the leaves makes this plant an outstanding addition to any garden. This New Zealand sedge has vertical growth of 1 to 2 feet tall and a light airy appearance that is useful in mass or as an accent. Can be used in water logged soils or on the edge of the pond but does not tolerate submersion. Plant in full sun to part shade; keep soil moist. Hardy to <15 degrees F.
The information about Carex buchananii displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
