watering
Pannewitz's Sedge should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. A watering schedule of every 2-3 days during the summer is recommended. During periods of extreme heat or drought, additional water may be required. In cooler months, such as autumn and winter, reduce watering to about once a week or until the top few inches of soil are slightly dry. Be sure to water the entire root ball to ensure the plant's deep roots are getting adequate moisture.
sunlight
Pannewitz's Sedge, also known as Carex x involuta, should ideally receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every single day in order to grow and flourish. If possible, it would benefit from 8 or more hours of sunlight, particularly during the warm months of the year when the sun is at its strongest. During the colder months, however, Carex x involuta will likely be able to tolerate some amount of shade throughout the day, so long as it is receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight throughout the year.
pruning
Pannewitz's Sedge should be pruned in early spring before new growth appears. Pruning should be minimal, leaving no more than 1-third of the plant's height. Pruning too much can weaken or even kill the plant. Old or dead foliage should be completely removed to keep the plant looking neat and tidy. Pruning can also be done in late summer or early autumn. It is important to avoid pruning too late in the season, as new growth wonât have time to become established before the winter. Killing frost occurs.
