Sedge (Carex oshimensis 'Evergold') |
Have Not planted yet Crabapple Water Grasses |
Z5, FS-PS, not a true bog plant, but they'll make it through a summer, 10-12". 2024: I'm trying them in the barrels again unless I find something else to plant in there. 2023: I got 3 nice big ones to put in the barrels again. They didn't like it there, so I put 1 in the CA garden and I think the deer were nibbling on it! The other 2 went in the GH triangle. 2022: I tried 3 of them in the water this year. They did pretty well, but didn't get as big as the acorus that I usually try to find. In early November I moved them to the crabapple garden. I'd like to try to get some more grassy stuff in there for low maintenance and to hopefully choke out the Oriental Limelight there that looks like crap when it gets tall. 2017: I'm not sure if this is still in the Crabapple garden? |

Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus Graceful Grasses® Prince Tut™) |
Have Not planted yet Tender and Annuals this year Tender/Annuals Water |
FS-PS, 18-30". These are only hardy to 30° 2024: I picked up 3 of these at Ace Hardware after they suffered some frost damage. They cut them way back and sold for half price. They look like they'll probably survive. I will pot them up, fertilize them, and see how they do in the greenhouse. None of the papyrus I planted from seed has shown up yet. I got a late start this year again. 2022: Put one in each barrel. These were really outstanding this year! Starting with 4" pots, they were a 2-3' high graceful focal point in all 3 barrels this year. I am attempting to overwinter in the pump-house, after cutting them way back so they'd fit on the shelf. We'll see; it's worth a try anyway. |

Spiral Rush (Juncus filiformis 'Spiralis') |
Prev Not planted yet Tender/Annuals Water |
Z5, 18", fertile soil, bog plant. Water: 2024 - 3 for the barrels 2023 - 3 in the barrels. October 24 and snow is coming, followed by lows in the teens this week. WTF?! I took these out of the barrels and put one in the GH triangle, one next to the garage, and one under the kitchen window. We'll see... 2020 - Had these in the barrels again. 2018 - Found these in 4" pots at Ace hardware. Yay! The barrels were not very full this year due to lack of available water plants to be found. |
