Well, not a great state of arrival in the spring and hasn't grown during the summer. One could say it's just hanging on, but it's far from flourishing. We'll see next spring.

Description
Carex laxiculmis 'Bunny Blue' is a vine-plant that was discovered in the United States and is distinguished by a prostrate clump of fairly wide, evergreen leaves with a silvery-blue colour. It thrives in humid, partially shaded areas but also withstands sunlight and temporary droughts. With minimal suckering and a compact habit, it is suitable for moist rockeries, containers, and undergrowth borders. From June to July, discreet bronze spikelets appear. Hardy down to -15 °C (5°F)
The 'Bunny Blue' vine-plant, also known as Carex laxiculmis 'Hobb', is a hybrid of C. laxiculmis. This evergreen perennial is a rhizomatous plant of the Cyperaceae family, native to damp woods in eastern North America. In the wild, this species prefers cool, damp, partially shaded to shaded areas. It tolerates freezing temperatures (down to -15°C (5°F)) and adapts to any type of soil. The rarely spreading stump forms a low and stocky clump measuring 30cm (12in) in all directions. Insignificant flowering occurs in midsummer. This evergreen maintains its beautiful 1.2cm (1in) wide foliage throughout winter. Its colours will be more intense if exposed to full sunlight, which it cannot tolerate if planted in cool, rich soil.
Carex laxiculmis 'Bunny Blue' is a very bright border or rockery plant, bringing light and attracting attention to the least exposed corners of the garden. It will be perfectly at home near a small pond or stream, as long as the soil remains moist without being constantly waterlogged. It can also be planted in groups of 5 to 10 individuals at the edge of cool undergrowth or in the design of a green wall. Where it thrives, this vine-plant will form unique and highly decorative ground cover. It can be associated with other ground cover plants that enjoy similar conditions, such as small ferns (polypodium), hostas, other small carex, saxifrages, and ophiopogon.

Planting and care
Plant Carex laxiculmis 'Bunny Blue' in full sun or partial shade, in any well-drained, rich soil that is not too dry. Dig a planting hole 20x20x20cm (8x8x8in). If your soil is heavy, mix some compost with the crumbled soil, partially fill the hole, and place your plant (after removing the pot) so that the top of the root ball of your plant is covered with 3cm (1in) of soil. Firm the soil and water generously to eliminate air pockets. In dry weather, you will need to water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate the establishment of your plant. This carex thrives in partial shade but also tolerates full sun and limestone.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
