Origin
The Carex comans 'Bronze Form' is an ornamental grass species, originating from New Zealand. This plant is also known as the 'New Zealand Hair Sedge' and grows natively in the peat and sandy soils of the country's coastal areas. Despite its exotic origin, the plant is fully winter hardy in our climate zones.

Characteristics
The Carex comans 'Bronze Form' is a compact, slow-growing ornamental grass species. It has very fine, thread-like leaves that are bronze-coloured. This characteristic gives the plant its distinct appearance and contributes to its ornamental value. The plant typically reaches a height between 30 and 60 cm. They form clump-shaped, overlapping bunches that maintain their colour throughout the year.

Care
The Carex comans 'Bronze Form' has few requirements for the type of soil, provided it is sufficiently permeable. Additionally, the plant prefers a sunny to semi-shade location. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods. It is recommended to prune the plant back in the spring to create space for new growth. Despite its winter hardness, the plant can use extra protection during severe winters in the form of an insulating mulch layer.
