PLANTING GUIDE
Soil: Medium to wet soils - plants thrive in moist soils, but also perform well in average garden soils, with better tolerance for periods of dryness than most sedges have.
Light: Part shade - Foliage color is richer in part shade than in sun. Plants tend to languish in full shade.
Water: Likes even moisture, so water regularly.
Spacing: 1.00 to 1.50 feet
Fertilizing: Needs very little. On poor soil, a light scattering of time release fertilizer in spring should be all that is needed.
Winterizing: No specific care needed. This sedge is evergreen in the deep South, maintaining good foliage in both summer and winter. It is not totally evergreen in the St. Louis area, although some foliage color will persist through mild winters, so wait until late winter or early spring to cut back, or tidy up the foliage.
Maintenance & pruning: Where not evergreen, foliage should be cut to the ground and removed in late winter.Reviews
