Drooping Sedge

Graceful Mountain Sedge should be watered deeply once a week during periods of active growth, such as in the spring and summer. It is important to wait until the top inch of soil has dried out before watering to avoid overwatering. Water slowly until it begins to pool and then allow to drain. If the soil is still moist in the top several inches after watering, then reduce the amount you water. During the fall and winter, Graceful Mountain Sedge should be watered much less often, only when the soil is completely dry for a few days.

Graceful Mountain Sedge requires full sun to partial shade to grow well. Too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to damage and become yellow. Ideally, it should receive sunlight for 4-6 hours in the morning and light shade the remainder of the day. During winter, it should receive a minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight to ensure a healthy growth.

Graceful Mountain Sedge should be pruned in late winter or early spring, after the plant has gone dormancy. Pruning should be done before the new growth begins in the spring. Slight trimming of the dead or damaged foliage is a good idea to encourage new growth as well as shaping and thinning out the plant. Approximately 1-third of the stalks should be pruned off at the base without leaving any stubs. This will cause the plant to produce more foliage and make a denser clump. It is important to leave enough foliage so that the overall appearance is not affected.
