mānaia

Carex flagellifera | mānaia, maurea, Glen Murray tussock, trip me up

Valued for its fine texture and graceful form mānaia features upright, slightly weeping foliage in warm coppery-brown tones, adding movement and contrast to garden plantings. It pairs beautifully with flaxes and other native species, creating a cohesive, low-maintenance landscape. Best grown in full sun and in damp to average soils, though it tolerates dry conditions once established. Ideal for coastal and open garden settings.
