Carex flacca care and maintenance

The most important part of Carex flacca care is to make sure they have a well-drained soil. It will not do well on wet or heavy soils. The next critical elements are weed control and The Plant Company recommends an organic mulch is spread around the plants after planting. They should be fed in spring with a native plant fertiliser. At this time any dead leaves can be removed. The plants are generally not trimmed aside from removing spent flower heads if desired. They rarely suffer from any pests or diseases but you may want to keep an eye out for mealy bugs. Overall, they are a very low maintenance plant and easy to care for.
