Carex Prairie Fire Ornamental Grass Seeds (Carex testacea) 25+Seeds

Carex (Carex testacea Prairie Fire) - If you are fond of adding different colors and textures to your garden, this Carex seed is a must have! Commonly called Orange Sedge, it is an outstanding specimen plant with attractive olive green, fine-leaved foliage that bursts into orange tones in the fall. In late summer, rose colored flower panicles appear just above the foliage. Add some Orange Sedge grass plants to other ornamental grasses with silvery or variegated foliages, and the colorful effect is dramatic. Ornamental sedges are extremely versatile. They can be grown in containers or borders, and they tolerate some soil dryness and can even adapt to quite boggy situations. Orange Sedge seeds produce plants that are disease and pest resistant and are very low-maintenance. How To Grow Carex From Ornamental Grass Seed: Use small pots filled with seed starting mix. Place the Carex seeds onto the soil and cover thinly with sand or soil. To help keep the ornamental grass seed moist until germination occurs, cover the pots with clear plastic wrap. Move the Carex seedlings to direct sunlight once they have sprouted, either in a south facing window or greenhouse and remove the plastic wrap. Transplant the Carex plants into progressively larger containers as they grow. A mature Carex plant can be transplanted outdoors into its permanent place usually within one full growing season.
