Carex comans ‘Bronze’, commonly known as Bronze New Zealand Hair Sedge or Maurea, is a low-growing, dense, and clumping perennial sedge native to New Zealand. It’s characterized by its arching, narrow, reddish-brown leaves, creating a striking visual effect with a weeping habit. It’s a popular choice for mass plantings, borders, and containers due to its low maintenance and year-round ornamental value.
