Sedge

Sedge (Carex) is a valued ornamental grass that adds structure and elegance to any garden. Its impressive leaves and tufted habit create impressive compositions, ideal for solitary plantings, perennial beds or compositions with other grasses.

Why choose a sedge for your garden:

• Decorativeness: Impressive leaves and tufted habit add structure and elegance to the garden, especially impressive in group plantings.

• Versatility of use: Sedge fits perfectly with perennials, shrubs and other ornamental grasses, suitable for group plantings, solitary plantings, as well as for growing in containers.

• Ease of cultivation: It prefers semi-shaded or shady positions and fertile, moderately moist and well-drained soils. It is tolerant to various types of soil and weather conditions.

• Frost resistance: Most varieties of sedge are characterized by good frost resistance, which makes them suitable for cultivation in the Polish climate.

Sedge care:

• Pruning: In early spring, before new growth begins, it is recommended to cut the clumps to a height of about 10 cm above the ground to remove last year's leaves and shoots.

• Fertilization: In spring, it is worth using a compound fertilizer or compost, which supports healthy growth and intense leaf coloration.

• Watering: It requires regular watering, especially during periods of drought. Young plants need more water to root well.
