Mud Sedge
Carex limosa
Also Known As - Candle Lantern SedgeMud Sedge (Carex limosa) is a wetland plant species that prefers to grow in mud and muddy soils. It is a clumping perennial sedge, with thin, tan-brown leaves spreading outward from a circular uniform pattern. Its foliage is feathery, and it produces several flowering stalks that reach up to 1-2 feet tall. It blooms from summer to fall, with brown stamen and light green pistils. Mud Sedge is a great choice for ponds, wet meadows, and shallow drainage areas. It provides shelter and food for wildlife, such as waterfowl and small mammals.

watering
Mud Sedge should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant once a week or more frequently during hot, dry weather. Make sure the water penetrates at least 6 inches into the soil. If the plant is in a pot, water until it drains out from the bottom. When in doubt, under-water the plant.
sunlight
Mud Sedge thrives in full to partial sun exposure, ideally getting at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight a day. The best time of day for sunlight exposure is in the morning when the sun is not as intense. During midday, it is best to provide the plant with some light shade to protect it from getting sunburned or wilting from the intense heat.
pruning
Mud Sedge should be pruned in late winter or early spring, when the plant is still dormant. Pruning should remove any dead or damaged foliage, remove any competing dead leaves and stems, and ensure that the plant is healthy and vigorous. To shape the plant, only prune tips of the stems back to a healthy bud or stem. Prune back no more than 1-third of the stems. Pruning too much can compromise the health of the plant.
