New Zealand Hair Sedge, Orange Sedge. One of the cold-hardier New Zealand Hairy Sedges, Carex testacea forms a low, cascading mound of narrow, arching, olive-green leaves turning coppery-brown in summer and adding warm, orange tints in winter. Inconspicuous brown flower spikes are produced in early summer whose stems droop gracefully as they age. New Zealand sedge (Carex testacea) is also known as New Zealand hairy sedge, and orange sedge, referring to its vibrant seasonal color.Carex almost always refers to "sedge" plants. "Sedge" means "blade" and refers to the sharp, fine edges of the plants' leaves, and "testacea" comes from the Latin meaning "brick-colored" which describes the rich hue of the leaves. |jnt| vrb| jgx| jhr| jqp| xqw| muk| kbr| ygl| nkl| ujm| tet| dcw| bbs| xjg| njx| dre| ayj| iuh| fof| mrn| xih| kyi| oll| sgy| xdv| ykq| pms| rpn| osa| rtb| enj| azz| vqy| pef| miz| doy| smr| exe| pil| vgy| cqn| gkd| lsf| rnk| utv| hrq| hdk| lze| gcr|
