RE: carex help
Gosh, this is timely. We have several varieties we were planning to divide
this fall. I guess I just assumed it could be split like a grass. I'm
looking forward to any responses you all might have to Kitty's question.

Subject: [CHAT] carex help
I have a favorite Carex called C. conica 'Marginata' aka 'Variegagta'. The
first one I bought about 4-5 yrs ago filled out, looked good, so I bought
another last year. The new one filled out quickly and really thrived,
making the first one look a bit puny - but only by comparison. I dug up the
old one, thinking I'd divide it and try the pieces elsewhere.
Has anyone here tried to divide a Carex? It's a tight little crown; nothing
to do but cut through it. When I did, much of it fell apart. I potted 3
pieces that survived intact but wondered about the fallout. There were many
little bundles held together by sheaths. No sign of roots. Any chance
these can be salvaged?
Yes, I should have looked this up before tackling it, but...I was in the
mood. Anyone have any experience with this?
