watering
Shore Line Sedge should be watered regularly and provided with ample moisture for best growth. Water deeply, providing 1-2 inches of water per week, preferably in the morning for best results. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. It is best not to let the soil dry out completely. This plant likes to stay evenly moist, not wet or saturated. Overwatering can lead to fungal and root diseases. During the winter, you can reduce watering to 1 inch of water every 2 weeks. Watering should be done more frequently in warmer months when the plant is actively growing.
sunlight
Shore Line Sedge thrives with partial to full sun exposure. It prefers sunny spots that are sheltered from strong winds, making them an ideal choice for coastal properties. During the summer months, the plant should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. In areas with extremely hot climates, afternoon shade is recommended to protect the plants from excessive heat. During the cooler winter months, partial shade is best, with no more than 4 hours of direct sunlight each day.
pruning
Shore Line Sedge should be pruned once or twice a year. Prune it in late winter/early spring and then again in early summer. The pruning will help maintain the shape of the plant and promote a more compact growth. When pruning, remove no more than 1/3 of the plant's material. This will ensure that the plant does not become too thin and weak. Remove all dead, diseased, or broken branches and remove any branches that crowd or cross each other. It is not necessary to remove any flower heads when pruning.
