Re: Carex

I don't see any replies to this, Nancy.  My info is not much, since I 
just bought my first carex.  In fact, this plant is meant for for my 
cousin who lives in Zone 6 or 7.  (Ardmore PA?)  After buying it as a 
garden gift for them while I was on vacation down in Pennsylvania, I 
then learned they'd left for two weeks in Russia and I had to return 
to northern NY before they got back.  Now I must keep this pretty 
thing alive over my Zone 4 winter:  Carex dolichostachya 
'Kaga-nishiki' (Gold Fountains).  It seems much more attractive than 
any of the photos I see on the web.

Maybe I'll find some carex for my zone.  I've not grown any to 
date.  It was fun to see your post so soon after returning home with 
Kaga-nishiki; hope you find answers to your questions.
