Globular sedge is a low-maintenance perennial grass that thrives in moist, partially shaded spots such as woodland edges or rain gardens. It tolerates a range of soils as long as consistent moisture is provided and does not dry out completely. Minimal pruning is needed — simply remove dead or tatty foliage in early spring to keep it tidy.
