For new plantings
1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the plant's container
2. Place plant in hole, keeping the top of the root ball ground level
3. Back fill with dirt
4. Water thoroughly and then mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds
New plantings require more frequent watering than established plants. Wind, temperature and soil are factors to consider in watering.
Feed plants in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label instructions.
Care Instructions
Carex plants require relatively low maintenance. Water them when the top inch of the soil is dry, and fertilize lightly each spring. Place them in an area with moderate to full sunlight and a well-drained soil. Avoid overwatering and give them a light prune once in a while to remove dead or yellowing leaves. With proper moisture, light and soil, your Carex plant should thrive!
