I'm in MN so fairly close to you but some of the plants you mentioned aren't that uncommon. I first noticed this in your post on Saxifraga stolonifera when people mentioned never seeing it. I've always seen that since I was a kid, usually in hanging baskets (though recently for fairy gardens and occasional house plant).Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778841917252237354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-90193829784475691062013-05-28T13:24:26.379-07:002013-05-28T13:24:26.379-07:00And in contrast to "Unknown", I had a Cy...And in contrast to "Unknown", I had a Cyperus alternifolius for quite a number of years. I did grow it wet. Didn't find it to be all that difficult to accommodate -- simply put its pot into a larger holeless container and filled that container with water. During the summer I often did have to refill the container once a week but then it was kept outside in full sun during that Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-67898584026808361112013-05-28T08:15:33.441-07:002013-05-28T08:15:33.441-07:00Try the Cyprus, if you are interested.

They are grown as landscape plants here in Phoenix, on a drip waterer, so they must have some tolerance for dry. <br /><br />I've had discarded plants continue to grow in my compost pile here, and I make no attempt to keep it damp. It gets watered *maybe* one a month or so. <br /><br />So this plant is worth a try. Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863446408320265707noreply@blogger.com
