Goosegrass Sedge

Goosegrass Sedge requires moderate watering. Water once a week to keep the soil moist, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water in the morning to avoid evaporation and make sure to water until the soil is completely saturated, as Goosegrass Sedge prefers evenly moist soil. During the summer, you may need to water more frequently, especially during hot and dry weather. Reduce waterings in the winter, when growth slows down.

Goosegrass Sedge thrives in full sun to light shade. For optimal growth, it should receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day. If it is planted in full sun, avoid periods of intense afternoon sun by providing a light shade cloth or other type of shade. Goosegrass Sedge should not be in full shade all day; rather, it should be planted in a location that will receive at least 4 hours of filtered sunlight per day.

Goosegrass Sedge should be pruned twice a year to promote healthy growth. Prune in early spring, before new growth begins. Cut the stems down to within 2 to 5 inches of the surface of the soil. After new growth appears, prune the entire plant again, cutting the stems to the same 2 to 5 inch length and removing any dried or dead foliage from the center of the plant. Haste this early summer pruning as soon as flowering has finished. This will help to prevent the spread of potential disease and keep the plant healthy.
