mystery carex/ Frazier's Sedge
Hello Gerry,
I have (had) two in the garden. All foliage has disappeared so I may have lost
them during the drought this summer. Remains to be seen when the winter rains
return.... if they return. I do have one left in a pot and it is still alive. The
Fraser's Sedge makes a good companion to Hepatica. Like the fuzzy little bottle
brushes of white on the sedge along with broad deep green leaves with rounded
leaves of Hepatica and their blue blooms.
