Carex 'Prairie Fire' is a striking evergreen ornamental sedge prized for its rich, olive-green foliage that transitions to warm coppery-bronze and orange tones, particularly during the cooler months. This hardy perennial grass forms a graceful, arching mound of fine, hair-like leaves that brings year-round colour and texture to beds, borders, gravel gardens and containers.


Originally hailing from New Zealand, Carex testacea 'Prairie Fire' is well suited to the UK climate and is remarkably low-maintenance once established. Its compact, clump-forming habit makes it an excellent choice for adding movement and natural warmth to both contemporary and cottage-style planting schemes. It also works beautifully as ground cover or as a softening accent alongside pathways and patio edges.

Avoid cutting back hard as this is an evergreen variety. Can be divided in spring to create new plants.

Vaseline Hand And Nail Lotion
This leaves my hands soft and protected but like some other reviewers, I have noticed a difference. Even after shaking the tube, to try to mix the lotion, it was still runny. It came out a little thicker but slid off of my hand. I’m not sure if this is old stock that separated or if the formula just changed from the last time I bought it, but something is different. It also has a different scent than I recall, as well. It’s not unpleasant, just lightly lemon-y, but it is different from what I remember. The consistency and the scent are both different but it doesn’t seem to affect the efficacy.

Best Hand & Nail Lotion Evet
Fantastic lotion that really does as it claims. Unfortunately Amazon doesn't seem to offer it in the larger 200 ml size anymore, or I would order it much more often.

This stuff really works! It is getting harder to find in stores. Not sure why the stores no longer carry. No matter, I have been able to find this product on Amazon. It really works!
