Knieskern's Sedge
Carex x knieskernii
Knieskern's Sedge (Carex x knieskernii) is a rare species of sedge native to the eastern United States. It is a ornamental perennial grass-like plant that grows up to two feet tall. Its Green stems have flowering spikes of bronze-red, orange or creamy yellow. Its soft, thread-like foliage forms a dense, interwoven mat. Preferred habitats include wet meadows, swamps, shorelines, and open bogs. Insects are attracted to the sedge's fragrant flowers and pollen, offering rich sources of nectar and nutrition for pollinators. With its amazing adaptability and easycare habit, Knieskern's Sedge is a delightful choice for wildlife gardens, wetland restorations, and ponds.

watering
Knieskern's Sedge requires moderate amounts of water. It should be watered deep, at least once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. It thrives in moist and wet conditions, so it can tolerate shorter periods without water, but it should not be allowed to dry out too long. During spring and summer, it should be watered more frequently, up to twice a week, however during fall and winter, water only occasionally when the top few inches of soil are dry.
sunlight
pruning
Knieskern's Sedge should be pruned in late winter to early spring, right before active growth begins. It should be cut back to 1-3 inches above the crown. Pruning should be done every 2-3 years to keep the plant shapely and promote thicker growth. Dead foliage should also be removed any time throughout the season.
