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. Seldom needs dividing. This sedge is a non-evergreen, so it can be pruned down to the ground in early spring.

Additional Notes about Variegated 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.
