Twisted Sedge
Carex torta
Twisted Sedge (Carex torta) is a low-growing perennial sedge species native to North America and Eurasia. The plant produces long narrow leaves that spiral around its thin stems, giving it a unique twisted appearance. In the late spring to early summer, slender, straw-colored spikes of flowers appear and form an attractive contrast with its deep green foliage. This species quickly spreads and works well in garden borders, rock gardens, or as an edging plant. It is tolerant of varying moisture levels and can take full sun to heavy shade, making it an adaptable and hardy garden plant.

watering
When watering Twisted Sedge (Carex torta), it is important to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water the plant once or twice a week in the summer, allowing the topsoil to dry out a bit between waterings. In colder weather, wait until the soil is dry before watering. Be sure to water the soil and not the foliage, as this can cause disease.

pruning
Twisted Sedge should be pruned in late winter or very early spring. This should be done before active growth begins for the season. Pruning should be minimal, as it prefers a natural form with no drastic shaping. Cut away any broken or damaged stems, as well as stems that appear to have died out. You can also cut out any stems that may look like they are growing into an undesirable shape. Remove no more than 15-20% of the overall stem/foliage size.
