Landscaping Uses

This versatile sedge excels as a groundcover, pathway edging, or accent plant in woodland gardens and shaded borders.

Planting & Care

Choose a location receiving partial to full shade with well-draining soil. Dig a planting hole roughly twice the width of the root ball and position the sedge slightly above ground level, then backfill and water thoroughly. Apply 1–2 inches of mulch around the base, keeping it clear of the stem. Once established, water only when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring, and trim back any dead foliage in early spring as needed.
