HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow either in late fall or early spring. Plant the seed just below the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant prefers moist, sandy soil and has very low tolerance to drought.
Seed Saving: At the end of the season, the seed heads will begin to turn from green to brown. Remove them as soon as they ripen to their mature brown color, and spread them out to dry. Thresh them to separate the seed from the stems. Store the seed in a cool, dry place.

Because it thrives in marshy and wet areas, this attractive sedge has become a crucial plant for wetland restoration. This cool-season native perennial needs a lot of sunlight and bears distinct, bristly seed heads, which the birds find attractive.
