Rosy Sedge
Carex rosea
Also Known As - Curlystyled Wood Sedge,Stellate SedgeRosy Sedge (Carex rosea) is a small, winter-dormant perennial plant. It has long, slender leaves that have a rosy-red color, giving the plant its name. This plant is native to northern North America, where it can be found growing in wet, open woodlands and marshes. Rosy Sedge produces tall flower spikes in late spring or summer that can reach up to 1 foot in height. Its foliage and blooms are both attractive additions to the garden. It prefers wet soils and full sun or part shade, making it a great option for gardens near streams, ponds or ditches. It is low maintenance and easy to care for, and can even tolerate some occasional flooding.

watering
Rosy Sedge plants require a good amount of regular water to remain healthy. They should be watered at least once every 7–10 days throughout the growing season (spring to fall). During periods of heat or dry weather, however, you should water more frequently (2 or 3 times per week). Make sure to water until the soil is moist, but avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot.
sunlight
Rosy Sedge grows best in full sun for 6 to 8 hours each day; however, it can tolerate some light shade or partial shade. It does not do well in areas with full shade, so it is important to choose an area that gets direct sunshine for at least part of the day. It is also fairly tolerant of both moist and dry conditions.
pruning
Rosy Sedge should be pruned once or twice a year, in the late summer and fall, when the foliage starts to turn brown. Pruning should be done lightly; it's best to remove a small portion of the foliage at a time. Care should be taken not to prune too close to the ground, as this can damage the crown and can lead to excessive stem growth, as well as reduce flower production. Make sure to prune the plant back only a few inches every time to maintain an attractive shape.
