Carex
glauca * Blue Sedge
|
| I keep Carex glauca contained, either
directly by planting it in a pot or by surrounding it with dry
space. Blue sedge moves by stolons, not too far with each leap but
quickly enough that I get concerned about keeping it in check. I
periodically dig around the edges of the clump much like you might edge a
lawn. Frost
will kill off the top in the low 20's but it is hardy to -10. I like
to put Carex glauca in moister sections of a grey garden. It stays low and can
form a great groundcover between specimen plants. The violet flowers
in the background are Prunella laciniata
