Awesome presentation! As a landscape designer, I really appreciated the detail and tips on landscape and ornamental uses.

Found this fascinating. I've grown a few of these species in Minnesota and have become a bit of a sedge lover. I'd love to see sedge planting become a lot more common. I don't have any really drought tolerant sedges besides brevior and this past summer really makes some of those a great option for a lawnlike planting.

This is excellent

Thank you so much your video is so helpful , I love sedges I planted them everywhere amongst my garden . I am growing more of them from winter stratification , I have created a local swap group and I post lots of informations on sedges to get people to use them more in native gardens . I posted your video in the group !

Very nice talk! I've been out of the industry for years, but I seem always drawn back in one way or another. Lately, I've been on a kick studying native grasses like Big Bluestem and Switch Grass as hedge alternatives, and of course that's led me down the path of sedges to help with weed control in the few beds I have around the home. Living in South Carolina, the conditions are a little different than seen in the Midwest and Northeast, but I think I can make some plants work. Helping to revitalize the interest in native plants has been tremendously enjoyable.

Fantastic, thanks so much. Any thoughts on Carex Swanii and Carex communis?

What native sedges would you suggest for northern calif that is clumping?

While I do appreciate a nice flowering meadow, I don't really get using grasses that look like weeds to suppress weeds?
