Luzula thrives in well-drained soil in partial shade and benefits from regular watering while establishing. Congested clumps can be lifted and divided in February to March to maintain vigour and prevent overcrowding. Remove any tatty or dead foliage in early spring to keep the plant looking neat, and apply a light mulch in winter to protect the roots from frost.

Once established, it is fairly low-maintenance and tolerant of drier conditions, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and soft, nodding white flowers to borders or under trees.
