Planting and Care Instructions:

1. Site Selection: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Carex Pendula prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil but can adapt to a variety of conditions.
2. Planting: Dig a hole twice the size of the pot. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place it in the hole and backfill with soil, ensuring the crown is at ground level. Water thoroughly.
3. Maintenance: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Mulch around the base to retain moisture. Cut back old foliage in early spring to encourage new growth.
