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.

Love the Warm Glow!
Color: Warm White
This light is very easy to install and has 3 different lighting options. I love the warm white light it emits as opposed to a bright white light that could attract bugs at night. Perfect light for patio, deck, camping, golf cart, etc!

It feels cheap and works just okay
This product just feels like it was made on the bottom dollar. It is very cheaply made and the doors to the battery compartment are so fragile it feels like they may snap next time I have to change the batteries. There's absolutely no weather proofing so I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain or heat. That being said, it's fine. It stays put on our umbrella and puts out light, albeit not much light.

Functional and easy to install!
Color: Cool White
This umbrella light is super handy! It hinges open to allow installation around the umbrella pole, so you don’t have to remove umbrella from table to add the light. I like that it can be charged with included USB cord or can use regular batteries. The different light settings are also nice depending on how much light you need or want at the time. We’ll be using this quite often when sitting at the table by the pool this summer.

I love these. Not only do they work at reducing any blemish size and inflammation, they are practically invisible like advertised.

Really help soothe redness and speed up healing
I've been using these patches for a while now and I'm very happy with them - they're virtually invisible on the skin, stay on well and really help soothe redness and speed up healing.
