Average garden soil is fine, and it handles clay. Water regularly through the first season. After that, it manages on its own in most years. In early spring, comb out or trim any tired foliage before the new leaves appear. It stays clumping and won't run around the garden, though it may seed gently in open soil. Divide in spring if you want to spread it to new areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosy sedge grows wild in woods and woodland edges across eastern North America, from Nova Scotia to Florida and west to Manitoba and Texas. Its other common name, curly-styled wood sedge, comes from the curled tips on the female flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native, deer resistant and willing to fill in all the awkward gaps.
