#ProPlantTips for Care:
All this fun type of Hair Grass requires to keep it looking great is a little tune-up in spring. We're talking perhaps five minutes a year in maintenance, beyond watering. In the hottest areas, please take care that they don't get too much sun, but in cooler zones, Sedges can grow well in partial shade. Moist, well-drained soil is best for them to shine, so provide them with consistent water.
Make sure to cut back all the foliage in the late winter or early spring each year. You'll make way for fresh new leaves to emerge from the roots each spring! Otherwise, these petite powerhouses are quite easy-care. If you like to have a tidy space, gently rake them to clear fallen leaves.
- Use in Partial or Full Shade
- Thrives in Moist, Well-Drained Soil
- Moist to Higher Moisture Locations
- Prune Down Or Clean Mounds In Early Spring
- Rabbit & Deer Resistant
