One of the bronze forms of Carex comans, possibly 'Milk Chocolate' if a recent purchase. Needs full sun, good drainage. It is typically rated to zone 7, so may not be hardy for you.

Thanks gardengal..I just bought it 2 months ago and I remember the word 'honey' in the name, but I like the concept of chocolate in gardening ...2 of my favorite things. I will try to look it up and see what I find out.

Does anyone have a lot of carex? I'll be upset if it doesn't come back next year. I just got a carex buchananii..or fox red curly sedge, that is supposed to be ok for zone 5.
