I found it in the bone dry shade of a peach tree, and moved it to a bone dry part sun location under a tree and it has done very well. It's evergreen for me, has interesting and fun seed heads. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features of Carex\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-evergreen and\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003esedges in general are not attractive to deer.
