Hair-Like Sedge

This Hair-Like Sedge is a low maintenance groundcover grass that should be watered only when its soil is completely dry to the touch. During the active growing season (May-August) it should be watered 1-2 times per week, providing roughly 1-2 inches of water each time. During the winter it should be watered every 4-6 weeks, providing roughly 1 inch of water each time. During periods of extreme heat or drought, water more often. It's important to water at the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage.

Hair-Like Sedge prefers full sun or at least 8 hours of sunlight each day. It is best to plant it in an area that gets the most sunlight, as this will help the plant to thrive. It should also be protected from strong winds and excessive shade. During the summer months, the Sedge should be watered regularly and dead flower heads should be removed to encourage more blooms. In the winter, it will need to be covered or mulched with a thick layer of straw.

Hair-Like Sedge should be pruned regularly to keep it in optimal shape. If left untrimmed, it can become leggy and lanky. Pruning should be done in the early spring before new growth appears. This will allow new growth to be triggered and also reduce the plant’s overall size. Aim to remove any dead, damaged, or excessively long foliage annually. If necessary, lightly trim the foliage to retain a tidy bushy shape. Pruning should be done carefully to avoid damaging any of the stems or foliage.
