Forest Sedge

Carex lambertiana is a hardy, NZ native grass with bright green leaves. They are held with a gently arch and become adorned with dark brown seed heads during summer as it grows to 1 m tall and 50 cm wide. Carex lambertiana is commonly used in environmental plantings focussed on establishing or restoring wetland areas. It is also perfect for planting on a bank, adding to a mixed planting, including in woodland plantings, planting around a pond or stream, or including in a border.

Carex lambertiana care and maintenance

The most important part of Carex lambertiana care is to make sure they have a soil that does not dry out. 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.
