Weak Stellate Sedge

Holm's Rocky Mountain Sedge should be watered frequently and consistently. During the summer, the plant should be watered 2 to 3 times per week, and during the winter, once every 2 to 3 weeks. Water should be added until the soil is moist, but not soggy. Make sure to water it deeply and to avoid over-watering. During the growing season, be sure to fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 2 weeks.

Holm's Rocky Mountain Sedge is a sun-loving plant that thrives in full sun or partial shade. It prefers long days of direct sunlight and grows best when given at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. In the summer, the plant may need up to 8 hours of direct sunlight to ensure optimal growth. In the winter, 2 to 4 hours of direct sunlight is sufficient. Avoid direct sunlight during midday hours when the summer temperatures are high, as the plant can burn easily in these conditions.

Holm's Rocky Mountain Sedge should be pruned once a year in early spring shortly after new growth appears. Pruning should focus primarily on removing dead or damaged foliage and seed heads. Pruning should be kept to a minimum to avoid stressing the plant and should focus primarily on thinning the center of the plant to allow new growth to emerge. Additionally, Holm's Rocky Mountain Sedge can be lightly trimmed to shape it and maintain a desired height and size. Depending on the desired size, 1 to 2 inches of growth can be pruned off the top of the plant.
