Torrey's Sedge

Torrey's Sedge should be watered approximately once a week, ideally with 1-2 inches of water. During drier periods, it benefits from a bit more frequent watering or an increase in the amount of water applied. Soil should be kept moist but not soaked. In general, 1-2 inches of water every 7-10 days is best. For larger plants, deeper watering is recommended.

Torrey's Sedge grows best in partial to full shade, but can tolerate brief periods of full sun. Ideally, the plant should receive 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably in the morning hours. Additionally, the plant needs to be shielded from the midday and afternoon sun when temperatures are hottest. This sedge will do best in a location where it can receive filtered light but is still shaded from intense sun.

Torrey's Sedge should be pruned once a year in the spring. Pruning should be done by cutting back the plant by 1/3 or more, removing any dead, diseased, or broken portions of the plant. It should not be pruned too heavily as this may damage the health of the plant. Pruning will help to encourage new growth and keep the plant looking full and lush.
