Sedge

Sedge (Carex x subimpressa) is an evergreen plant that grows best in moist, well-drained soil and is very heat tolerant. Watering Sedge should be done on a regular basis with an all-purpose watering can. During summer, water deeply and frequently; about once a week should do. During the cooler months, water less frequently, about once every 2 weeks, unless there's been an extended period of hot, dry weather. Aim to saturate the soil to a depth of at least 3 to 4 inches with each watering. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Sedge (Carex x subimpressa) prefers full sun to partial shade, with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day. The plant will do best with direct mid-morning to late afternoon sun, which helps to encourage the growth of vigorous foliage and colorful blooms. The Sedge can tolerate lower amounts of sun, but will struggle to thrive and may not bloom well. The best time for the plant to receive direct sun is from about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

Sedge (Carex x subimpressa) should be pruned in late spring or early summer, when it is actively growing. Pruning should be done gently by removing up to 1/3 of the plant’s foliage. This can be done by selectively cutting back longer stems and thinning any dense sections. This pruning encourages a strong, healthy shape for the plant and promotes the growth of new shoots. There may also be some tidying up required, such as removing any dead, damaged, or diseased material.
