Ready to plant

Carex buchananii is a perennial herb native to New Zealand, where it is commonly called Leatherleaf sedge. This unusual nickname comes from the bronze colour of its thread-like leaves, a very distinctive shade that the plant retains all year round.

Carex buchananii can make an excellent ornamental grass, as it shares many characteristics with them. Its copper colour can be valuable for creating striking colour contrasts with high ornamental appeal, especially when paired with grey-leaved plants.

Carex buchananii can excellently stand in for a ornamental grass, as it shares many characteristics with them. Its coppery color can be valuable for creating original color contrasts with high ornamental value, especially when paired with silver-foliaged plants.

Between June and July it produces small, browned inconspicuous spikes: the plant is distinguished above all by its copper-colored foliage.

Grows in full sun or partial shade and behaves like an ornamental grass. It withstands cold down to -10 °C and has moderate drought tolerance; its copper-colored foliage remains decorative all year round.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
