Growing & Maintenance Tips for Carex x hybrida Feather Falls™
Thrives in light to partial shade and rich, well-drained soil with dry to average moisture. It is sensitive to extreme heat and may struggle in such conditions. In northern climates, it should be planted in a sheltered location to protect it from harsh winter winds and provided with insulation, such as snow or straw. If the foliage appears worn in early spring, cutting the plant back to the ground will encourage fresh growth.
