Very helpful! I’m using Carex Pennsylvania to edge the path under the oak tree in dry shade. The tree has a circle of aquilegia canadensis (50 plugs, 2”x5”) then a patch of wild strawberries where there is a patch of sun. The outline of ninebarks will eventually grow into each other on two sides to create privacy and maybe eventually keep the deer out like a hedge. Then I put a low hedge of amsonia illustrious on the sunnier edge. The open areas are now planted to aster, boneset, Scrophularia Maranda along the back fence. If I would have found your sedge presentation sooner I may have used a matrix pattern. My main focus was a secluded area to sit, and a paradise for insects so the birds will love to live here in the garden. Thank you. I would send you photos and consult with you (and pay your fee) for improving on this area. Yvonne Kolarik Ponca City OK. This is 2-3 years of study and planning.
