Bronco Carex Grass Plant

The Bronco Carex (Sedge Grass) Plant is a beautiful clumping grass that has long, thin, wispy foliage with an unusual bronze color on its top side and a slightly silvery appearance on the undersides of its leaves. Sometimes called Color Grass or Bronco Sedge, its ornamental qualities are quite obvious. On the other hand, its dwarfish size make it perfect for bordering beds, for colorful accents in an evergreen garden or for brightening up a rock garden. When planted in a tiered potting arrangement or in pots placed on stair steps, they are quite magnificent!
