Carex testacea ‘Prairie Fire’ is a cultivar of New Zealand Hair Sedge known for its shimmering, arching, olive-green foliage with bright orange tips that intensify with sun exposure. The foliage takes on stronger orange and red tones in fall and winter. Excellent for container gardening, borders, mass plantings, green roofs, groundcover, rock gardens, bank stabilization/erosion control. Best in full sun but will tolerate partial shade; color is best in full sun. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil but is quite drought-tolerant once established. Prefers good drainage and dislikes excessively wet winter conditions. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Deer-resistant. Cold hardy to 0°F.
