A note from PlantMom

Woodrush sedge is quite disease-resistant and typically not susceptible to disease. Care-wise, the plant is fairly low-maintenance. Planted outdoors, it needs little watering, and larger specimens usually don’t require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be trimmed after they have finished blooming. Woodrush sedge is suitable for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand much care experience.
