American Woolly-Fruit Sedge

Water American Woolly-Fruit Sedge about once a week, in the morning. It’s best to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. During extreme drought or high temperatures, water more frequently. Provide supplemental water during prolonged drought. This species of plant prefers moist soils, so be sure the soil does not entirely dry out or it could suffer damage.

American Woolly-Fruit Sedge typically requires a moderate amount of sunlight for optimal growth. It will grow in partial shade, but prefers 4 to 6 hours of direct sun exposure per day. It's tolerant of a variety of soil conditions and can survive drought periods. The best time for sunlight is in the morning, before or during peak temperatures, when the sun can reach the leaves for the longest period of time without causing too much damage from the heat.

American Woolly-Fruit Sedge should be pruned during its dormant season, which typically falls during late winter and early spring. Pruning should be minimal to help encourage growth. If needed, reduce the canopy of the plant by selectively choosing taller stems to cut back at the base and avoid trying to cut back across the entire tuft of foliage. Pruning is necessary to help maintain an attractive shape and encourage healthy growth so it should be done at least once a year.
