Also known as Bronze New Zealand hair sedge, it must be said that Carex comans Bronze Form does resemble a wig, so it's no surprise to hear that the word Comans means head of hair in Latin! An evergreen perennial, the dense tussock of reddish-brown foliage cascades elegantly, bearing small inconspicuous brown flowers in summer.
