When to plant variegated japanese sedge

Japanese sedge is a clump-forming, evergreen perennial sedge often grown in its variegated cultivars for shade gardens. NC State propagates it by division and seed and describes it as an easy, trouble-free sedge, so set out new plants or divisions in spring as growth resumes. It grows in moist, acidic soil in any light, though a full-sun site needs constant moisture.

Variegated Japanese Sedge is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
