European Gardening: Does anyone grow decorative grasses?, 1 by Weezingreens

Terry, I've been trying a few grasses from seed myself. In our zone 3, the selection is rather limited for perennial options. Even Blue Fescue seems to struggle a bit when I try to winter it over. I don't think there are may options for the huge impressive grasses I see posted here on Dave's, and I am envious of them.

As a result, I've been taking a second look at our local grasses... the ones I've been pulling up in the garden! LOL! One in particular is Merton's Sedge (not technically a grass, I guess.) I've collected that and have it for trade, now. I imagine it grows many places, but may still be of interest to someone. http://plantsdatabase.com/go/59496/index.html
There is also Alaska Cotton here, as well.
