Carex

Carex (Carex spp.), also known as sedge, is a versatile grass-like perennial valued for its fine texture and tidy, arching foliage. It works well in borders, mass plantings, and containers, adding soft movement and year-round structure to Florida landscapes. Many varieties tolerate shade and moisture, making Carex a useful option for problem areas in the garden.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial shade, depending on variety
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist when establishing; some varieties tolerate wetter conditions
• Pruning: Trim back old or tired foliage in late winter or early spring
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring
