HI Marg,
We have a whole raft of Carex native to New Zealand and I am just
wondering if anyone there has tried NZ Carex out for hardiness in Northern
USA? This is a link to a NZ native species list, probably restricted to those
plants found in Tongariro National Park which is often snow covered in
winter.
