Carex comans 'Bronze Form' forms dense tussocks of narrow, bronze-brown leaves. It's a versatile plant, well suited to growing in sun or shade. Small inconspicuous flowers are borne in summer.

Carex comans 'Bronze Form' is particularly useful for adding winter interest, particularly in containers where it looks good planted with spring bulbs and ivies. Like most perennial grasses, it benefits from a tidy up in spring to remove dead foliage and encourage new growth.
