In New Zealand they call this one hair sedge, and you can see why! The leaves are as fine as hairs, the colour is a gentle balayage effect from green to golden brown, and each slender cascading blade curls into ringlets at the tip.

If you have a pot with a face this is the perfect hair plant for it! It also looks amazing mass planted in landscaping where it forms sandy tussocks that flow in the breeze.

We love Frosted Curls for its hardy resilience, ability to grow anywhere, fun hair look
