Red Hook Sedge is an evergreen, fountain-like grass type, that boasts glossy, red-green/red-brown leaves, along with dark brown or black flower points in Summer. Find out more

Uncinia Rubra originates from New Zealand, and boasts clumps of vividly coloured, evergreen foliage. It is a popular ornamental grass plant, as it can live for a while and can grow rather big in even cool/damp areas.

It can reach an ultimate height and spread of 0.1m-0.5m x 0.1m-0.5m.

It is best to plant your Red Hook Sedge in chalk, clay, loam, or sand-based soils, and in a sheltered, sunny, or partially shaded position.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
