Rockdwelling Sedge

Liddon Sedge should be watered once a week, using 1/4 inch of water each time. To make sure the soil is damp but not overly saturated, soak the soil's surface until it is damp but not soggy. Take care that the water does not pool around the base of the plant, as this can lead to root rot. If possible, water in the morning as this gives the plant plenty of time to dry out during the day.

Liddon Sedge is a species of plant that requires a moderate amount of sunlight. It does best when it receives 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, which can be in either the morning or afternoon. In addition, it will benefit from some reflected light on cloudier days, such as the light that bounces off of surrounding buildings and pavements. For optimal health, however, the plant should still receive direct sunlight for at least a few hours per day. When the summer days are longest and hottest, some extra shade from an overhanging tree or building may be welcomed by Liddon Sedgewhich will prevent heat stress under harsher climates and conditions. It is important to note that too much direct sunlight during the hottest summer days can be detrimental to the health of the plant. During the winter months, Liddon Sedge may also benefit from some afternoon sun, as this will contribute to the overall light levels.

To keep Liddon Sedge (Carex petasata) looking its best, pruning should be done twice a year, once in late spring and again at the end of summer. In late spring, the plant should be pruned back to 6-8 inches to create a fuller, bushier appearance. In addition, any dead or damaged leaves should be removed. At the end of summer, the plant should again be pruned back, this time reducing all stems by 2-3 inches. It is also important to check again for any dead or damaged foliage, and to remove it.
