Ordered a flat of this sedge in January 2022 to use to stabilize and develop a strip of former lawn that is being redeveloped as a wildflower side garden on the north side of the house. Ordered from Prairie Nursery, Westfield, Wisconsin 53964. Arrived in good shape and will plant this week.

This plant is doing well in the water berm in the side yard. No more floods there. Not getting huge yet, but in time I believe it will. Seems to be overwintering fine in 6a SE Michigan in January 2023.
