It's the one Christy Ten Eyck grows in her yard. Bulbs would be great along the path. I'm adding bulbs to my garden this year so I might just do that soon.Shirleyhttp://rockoakdeer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-72066815939476332212016-02-21T16:03:27.367-06:002016-02-21T16:03:27.367-06:00I also was trialing a few native sedges, and hope ...I also was trialing a few native sedges, and hope to add more as well.

I too found Berkeley slow to establish, but after three years it finally got full and lush as I'd envisioned. Texas sedge grows much quicker in my experience. Planted en masse, they make a lovely low-maintenance meadowy lawn substitute. And, if protected from deer, you can plant bulbs like oxblood lily in clusters amid the sedge for seasonal color.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-33873775776752298192016-02-18T10:41:31.974-06:002016-02-18T10:41:31.974-06:00This has happened before with native plants, namel...This has happened before with native plants, namely Muhlenbergia lindheimeri. Oddly my big box impulse purchase looks spectacular while two from a very good nursery I added later look too weedy for my tastes.Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-6805236895028165082016-02-17T20:57:31.264-06:002016-02-17T20:57:31.264-06:00What a fun collection!

I wonder why two plants labeled with the same botanical name look and act totally differently?Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441140267067281722noreply@blogger.com
