Striking evergreen ornamental grass with fiery red foliage, adding bold colour, texture & movement to borders, containers and contemporary planting schemes.
Uncinia ‘Everflame’, often called Red Hook Sedge, is a compact evergreen ornamental grass prized for its vivid copper-red to crimson foliage that provides colour throughout the year. The slender, arching leaves create a soft fountain-like shape that moves beautifully in the breeze, bringing texture and contrast to mixed plantings. Its rich tones intensify in cooler weather, making it particularly valuable for autumn and winter displays. Reaching approximately 30–40cm tall with a similar spread, it forms a tidy clump ideal for patio containers, gravel gardens, borders and modern landscape designs.
Supplied as a strong, well-established 17cm (2L) pot-grown plant, this is a healthy, garden-ready specimen with a well-developed root system prepared for reliable establishment. Professionally grown in peat-free compost at our UK nursery in Yorkshire and delivered in plastic-free packaging, it offers a sustainable way to introduce vibrant colour and architectural interest into your outdoor space.
