Sedge

It is important to water your Sedge plant regularly to keep it healthy and thriving. The best time of day to water a Sedge plant is early morning or late evening. Water your plant thoroughly so that the soil is saturated but not soggy; never allow water to stand on the leaves. Water Carex x persalina about once per week, depending on the weather and your soil type. During hot weather, you may need to water more frequently. Check the soil around the plant's roots to determine if it needs more water. If the top inch of the soil is dry, it's time to water.

Sedge (Carex x persalina) plants prefer partial to full sun exposure and generally require 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. They can tolerate partial shade but may not bloom or produce their thick, showy foliage as vigorously. Sedge plants also do best when grown in moist soils, so be sure to keep the soil lightly damp, especially in warmer months. If growing in a container, make sure to water regularly.

Sedge (Carex x persalina) should be pruned once a year in early spring. The amount of pruning should match the desired plant size and growth habit. To control size, lightly prune away dead and/or overgrown leaves or stems. To maintain an even shape, prune away stems and leaves that are growing away from the desired shape. Take care to avoid over pruning, as this can limit the plant’s ability to photosynthesize efficiently.
