Description
A very popular Sedge, Carex buchananii (Leatherleaf Sedge) is a tufted perennial grass with an evergreen foliage of narrow, copper-bronze leaves. Erect when young, the grass-like leaves tend gradually to arch over time, curling gracefully towards their tips. It looks particularly good when the sun is against it or when lit against a contrasting wall. Brown flower spikes appear in late summer.
