Growing and Maintenance Tips:

This sedge tolerates partial to full shade in a moist, well-drained soil. Provides good contrast in low borders and near water features. They can be divided in early spring or early fall. In early spring, the plants benefit from a "combing" with a gloved hand. 'Snow Cap' can be planted in areas with greater sun exposure, providing they do not dry out.

Additional Notes about Creeping Broad-leaved Sedge:

Cool Season Grasses: These grasses do the majority of their growing in early spring and start again when temperatures start to cool in the fall. During the warmer summer months, they stop growing and some will even go dormant. Cool season grasses flower in the spring or early summer. Most cool season grasses grow best in a consistently moist soil.
