Ensure that the soil has adequate percolation or drainage. Often this means removing entire areas of sod and mixing in compost, sand, or other amendments that increase the porosity of the soil so excess water can drain down into the ground. There are no broad-spectrum herbicides recommended for controlling sedge weeds.

How do I get rid of nutsedge in my flower garden?
Spraying Nut Grass
A postemergent herbicide, such as glyphosate, works as a spot treatment, soaking into the leaves and stems, and traveling through the root system, killing the entire plant. For nut grass application, a 1.5 percent mixture of 41 percent glyphosate works well.
What herbicide kills sedges?

Should you cut back sedge?
Sedges resent being cut back too hard, so if the foliage lasts through the year untattered, just leave it alone. If the older foliage looks messy, or the tips have been burned by winter cold, trim the sedge back modestly, by no more than a third at most, in March or April.
How do I get rid of sedge in my yard?
You can control nutsedge in your lawn by applying Ortho® Nutsedge Killer Ready-To-Spray. It's effective against newly emerged and established sedges. The weed is yellowed in 1-2 days, and complete kill occurs in 2- 3 weeks. It can be used on Northern and Southern turf grasses and is rainproof in 2 hours.
What is the best nutsedge killer?
Herbicides that contain halosulfuron (Figure 6) or sulfentrazone (Figure 7) are recommended for yellow nutsedge control. Regardless of herbicide selection, yellow nut- sedge is a difficult-to-control weed that may require multiple herbicide applications.
How do I get rid of nutsedge naturally?
There is no perfect organic method for killing Nutsedge in your lawn, other than pulling them very carefully when they're just starting to sprout in the Spring. Do this when the soil is moist and you can work to get the entire root including the little nutlet (you'll know it when you see it).
What kills Shortleaf spike sedge?
SedgeHammer + Herbicide is a selective, post-emergent herbicide concentrate designed specifically to kill nutsedge and other broadleaf weeds without injury to turfgrasses, established ornamentals, shrubs, or trees.
Will broadleaf herbicide kill nutsedge?
Despite its grasslike leaves and common name of nutgrass, yellow nutsedge isn't a grass at all. It's not a broadleaf weed either — it's a sedge. Common weedgrass killers and broadleaf weed killers, which work on most lawn weeds, are ineffective against this opponent.
How do you kill Carex?
Purchase a selective herbicide formulated to kill sedge in your type of grass. Treat your entire lawn as soon as you notice the presence of sedge grass. Avoid using a broad-spectrum herbicide, which may damage the desirable grass. Apply the herbicide according to the manufacturer's instructions.
What happens if you don't Cut back ornamental grasses?
This is for emergencies only, though. They don't appreciate harsh pruning and this could weaken or even kill them if you repeat it annually. The majority of commonly grown ornamental grasses, however, are deciduous. Their foliage dies and turns brown in the fall, but often remains standing.
How do you care for a sedge?
Sedge plants take to occasional mowing in lawn situations and have the advantage of requiring little further attention, unlike traditional turf grass, which needs plenty of added nitrogen and may get weedy. When fertilizing, feed the plant in early summer with a light nitrogen plant food.
How do you care for an Evergold sedge?
Evergold Sedge Care
Plant Evergold Sedge in full or partial sun or in a container mix that drains well. Give the grass average water with a little extra water in summer heat. Since it's a cool-season grass, its growth slows in peak heat.
