Carex Evergold pruning

The primary reason for pruning Carex Evergold is to remove dead or damaged foliage. This helps maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and promotes healthy new growth. Such light pruning can be done any time. If more aggressive pruning is required that requires 50% of the vegetation to be removed, this is generally undertaken during summer when the plants are actively growing.

The Plant Company recommends that the plants have at least 10 cm of growth at the base of the plant remaining during any severe pruning. Avoid heavy pruning in winter as the plants may not grow back.
