Mackenzie's Sedge

Lyngbye's Sedge should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. During the growing season from March to August, water it once a week, saturating the soil but allowing it to drain afterwards. During the cooler months, reduce watering to once every 2 weeks. In the summer months, increase the frequency of watering to twice a week. If it is grown in a dry climate, increase the frequency of watering to 3 times a week. If grown in containers, water more often to keep the soil moist and check frequently to ensure adequate drainage.

Lyngbye's Sedge is a plant species that thrives in direct sunlight, and it will generally enjoy more hours of sunlight when planted in full sun locations. Generally, it is best if this species is exposed to at least 4 to 6 hours of full sun during peak growing season; however, in cooler areas or during winter months, it can tolerate up to 7 or 8 hours of direct sun. During summer months, it is ideal for Lyngbye's Sedge to be shaded from afternoon sun in an effort to protect it from heat damage and sunburn.

Lyngbye's Sedge should be pruned annually. In the spring or summer, the plant should be cut back to within a few inches of the ground. This will encourage fresh growth and remove any dead material. Pruning should be repeated every year to keep the plant healthy and promote vigorous growth. Additionally, pruning can help control the size the plant reaches, as it can grow quite large over time.
