#ProPlantTips for Care:
For the best growth possible, plant Carex in well-drained, moist soil with full sun. Hotter climates will find their grass appreciates some afternoon or partial shade in the hot summer months. The clumps can be divided in early spring on this evergreen grass. If the leaves are wind-burned or tattered over winter, you can cut out any individual damaged leaves. If there are many brown leaves, it is easier to grab all of the stems in a bundle and cut them off at 2 inches or so. Removing all of the old foliage allows them to regrow from the roots. Feather Falls™ is so easy to take care of with its resistance to deer and rabbits, as well as its drought tolerance!
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Moist to Average Well-Drained Soil
- Prune/Clean Mounds Early Spring
- Drought Tolerant Root System Once Established
- Deer & Rabbit Resistant
Light as a feather! You'll be glad you chose this graceful, elegant, and flowing ornamental grass for your landscape or container gardens! Plant one or a dozen - either way, you'll be excited you bought your Feather Falls™ Sedge from Nature Hills!
