I found this in a container earlier this year looking the worse for wear so I assume it's a hardy one I've given it a little TLC and it's perked up. now I need an ID so that I can work out what to do with it .
full or partial sun moist but we'll drained soil. Does anyone ever achieve that?
Yes
I grow Uncinia rubra Everflame and it certainly doesn't like being too dry. It struggled in one of the sunny raised beds I had it in, so I moved it. It can also die off a fair bit, or completely, in winters. I have the main plant beside the pond in not great soil conditions - clay but reasonable enough drainage, and it died off again in the middle after the winter, but I took the dead stuff out and it's recovered quite well. It also self seeds readily though - in the gravel around it, but I also have one or two seedlings in the pond. I pot them up to grow in if I remember.
The seeds will snag your clothes every time you go past too. Not called the hook sedge without good reason
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
