Common Name: Leatherleaf Sedge, Ornamental Grass

A cool season evergreen grass with copper-red foliage in a spiky, upright habit. The wispy leaves are an excellent complement to broadleaf perennials like Salvia and Shasta Daisies. Consider this an essential perennial when planning fall or winter gardens for its autumnal colors and persisting habit. From Jelitto.
