Dry Spike Sedge

Weak Stellate Sedge should be watered around once or twice a week, depending on the climate. During periods of hot weather, it should be given more water, letting the top 2 inches of soil dry out before watering again. In cooler climates, or during winter months, it can be watered less frequently. For best results, water this plant deeply and slowly, ensuring that it receives the moisture it needs.

Weak Stellate Sedge grows best in full sun, but can also tolerate light shade. For optimal growth, this species should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. During the summer months, this species may need some shelter from the hot, midday sun.

Weak Stellate Sedge should be pruned in late spring or early summer to control its size and shape. Pruning should involve removing any dead, diseased, or damaged foliage to help the plant stay healthy. Prune out any stems with multiple flower heads, as these often produce weak, leggy growth. Cut back stems that are too long or have grown too large to maintain the desired shape. Prune lightly, removing no more than 1/3 of the plant’s top growth to ensure that it can continue to photosynthesize.
