Not sure of their name TT.....this is at Normanby, they look to be a bit tall for the blue Carex, the ones I have are only a year old.....so maybe this is the height they could grow to. I'll ask the gardener there...:o)

What lovely colour contrast. I'm not usually too keen on the sedums but with the blue grass they look great.
