Carex testacea, commonly known as orange New Zealand sedge, is a striking ornamental grass prized for its fine, arching foliage that shifts from olive-green to coppery-orange tones, intensifying in colder months. This evergreen perennial adds year-round texture and color to the garden, particularly in autumn and winter. Compact and clump-forming, it typically grows to around 30–50 cm tall and wide, making it ideal for borders, rock gardens, gravel gardens, or containers.

Carex testacea thrives in full sun to partial shade, though its orange hues are most vibrant in sunnier spots. It prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for low-maintenance and xeriscape gardens.

It pairs well with other grasses, perennials, or architectural plants and is perfect for modern or naturalistic planting schemes. This versatile grass requires minimal upkeep—simply remove old foliage in spring to keep it looking fresh and tidy.
