Uncinia rubra Everflame ('Belinda's Find') (PBR)

uncinia ( syn. Uncinia Everflame )

Product Image
A vibrant, ornamental sedge grass with bronze leaves and brilliant bright red margins. Uncinia rubra ‘Everflame’ burns brightly through the winter thanks to its evergreen, compact nature, making it versatile for containers, baskets, or as a warm-toned specimen plant for the front of borders or rockery. Narrow spikes of tiny, brown flowers emerge in summer.

As a bonus, Uncinia will thrive in damp areas of the garden forming clumps that will gradually increase in size over the years.

How to care for Uncinia rubra Everflame ('Belinda's Find') (PBR):

This sedge prefers a sunny or lightly shaded spot with moist but well-drained soil. It’s ideal for containers or front-of-border planting, where its copper-red foliage can be shown off. Avoid overly dry or exposed sites, and protect from harsh winter winds in colder areas.

Using gloves, comb through the plant in winter to remove dead foliage. Feed with a general purpose fertiliser during the growing season and if necessary, lift and divide over-large clumps in early spring.
