I don't know why I didn't think of this years ago! I like to leave a few pots outside to look at in the winter, but I never get around to those fancy winter displays of evergreen branches and berries that look so great. But here's a pot in my backyard that had a carex (sedge) planted in it last summer. Carex is not hardy here but treated as an annual it looks great in containers all year long! This year I'm planning to put sedges in more of my pots - especially the ones that I can see from the house during the winter. Here it was in summer with a geranium and something else that I can't remember right now:
Great minds think alike! I did this last year as well and it has lasted most of winter. The moose did stop by last week and chew the Carex down a bit but this idea is one I will do again for next winter.
