Carex testacea
Orange New Zealand Sedge
Common Name: Orange New Zealand Sedge Latin Name: Carex testacea Soil: Fertile moist, well-drained soil Position: Full sun or partial shade Hardiness: Hardy Eventual height/spread: 0.7m/0.6m Special features: An evergreen sedge with leaves that change colour. The 'estacea' is a real treat as it offers year-round interest, but with a bi-annual change in colour. From spring through to autumn the slender, arching leaves are olive-green in colour, but throughout winter the leaves intensify and hold a coppery-orange colour. Midsummer sees the arrival of brown flower spikelets, which sit nestled amongst the foliage. Towards the end of summer you get to enjoy the variety of the older olive-green leaves which sit alongside the newer coppery leaves. This colourful sedge forms a dense mound and it works well in a bed or border with other perennials like the brighter Carex 'Eversheen'. Or, for a real array of colours, plant this alongside another ornamental grass, like the Festuca 'Elijah Blue', as the differing colours and textures contrast beautifully. This hardy sedge also works well as a specimen when planted in a large pot and this can look particularly effective when you have two planted on either side of a door or path.

Rhus glabra Laciniata
Stag's Horn Sumach/Fire Fern
Common Name: Stag's Horn Sumach/Fire Fern Latin Name: Rhus glabra 'Laciniata' Soil: Moist, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Flowering period/colour: Summer/ Yellow-green Hardiness: Very hardy Eventual height/spread: 3m/4m Special features: Bold autumn colours of vivid red and bright orange. Sometimes known as the 'Fire Fern', this eye-catching tree gets its common name from its fern-like foliage which turns to fiery shades of red and orange in autumn. The long, feathery, fern-like leaves are held on spreading branches and are a solid green colour in spring and summer: the stems are deep red and contrast beautifully with the leaves, which adds further interest. In summer, yellow-green conical flowers appear and these turn to bright red fruits in autumn. This deciduous tree is very hardy and will thrive in any sunny spot in the garden. We would recommend planting it alongside the Cytisus battandieri as the silvery-green leaves of the Cytisus make the perfect foil for the fiery foliage of the Rhus Laciniata.
