Carex flagellifera 'Weeping Brown Sedge'

Select a location with partial shade to full sun and well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and plant at the same depth as it was grown in the container. Backfill the hole, firm the soil gently, and water thoroughly. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture while keeping it away from the crown. Space multiple plants about 12–18 inches apart to allow natural spreading.
