🌿 DEER RESISTANT PLANTINGS 2019 🌿

An antique stand from a pioneer
Shaw Island farm.
Carex comans 'Frosted Curls"
or New Zealand Hair Sedge.
A little shimmery this day at the
Shaw Island Gatehouse.
There are no seeds for sale but
young starts are often available free
for visitors on open days of Market Camp,
Squaw Bay Road, Shaw Island.
The island deer do not touch this.
Carex 'Frosted Curls' is hardy to -10° (USDA Z 6b). It will take full sun or part shade. Effective when planted on a slope, in containers, or in rock gardens, where its foliage can cascade. Evergreen with winter interest.
