[SG] Carex eburnea

I bought this sedge from Tony Avent's Plant Delights nursery this spring.
I chose it because it is the only native sedge he carries--the other 10 or
12 all being from Japan. It is delightful, but I can't find anything about
it in any of the normal sources. Does anyone else grow this, or know
anything about it?

NB, my C. eburnea is a clump maybe 2" in diam. with leaves like emerald
green hairs approx 6" long. Very soft and pretty. It gets some morning
sun, otherwise is in shade. Tony says it will become 12" in diam.
eventually, but will never get taller than 6 or 7".

Also, does anyone grow any OTHER sedges, native or non-native, that they
would like to recommend? I would like to learn more about this genus and
maybe grow some additional species. Any suggestions would be welcome. I
take it they are all shade-lovers.
