Planting Instructions

Plant Silver Sceptre Sedge in spring or fall for best results. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Space plants 18-24 inches apart for optimal growth. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
