Carex oshimensis evergreen

Carex oshimensis 'evergreen' is a clump-forming evergreen Japanese Sedge with narrow, arching, lime-green leaves that gradually turn golden-yellow as the season progresses. In early summer, it bears inconspicuous brown flower spikes on long stems. Valuable for its stunning appeal and wonderful texture, this highly decorative evergreen Sedge is easy to grow, low maintenance, and cold-hardy. Its compact clumping habit makes 'Everillo' a splendid ground cover or container plant.

• Grows easily about 12-18 in. tall and wide (30-45 cm).
• Enjoys full sun or part shade and thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained soils. The best foliage color is obtained in the part shade rather than in sun. Do not let the soil dry out.
• This is a graceful accent plant for beds, borders, rock gardens, and city or cottage gardens. Perfect as a ground cover or to edge a path. Excellent choice to brighten shady areas. Does well in containers too where it adds wonderful character and texture to your plant combinations.
• Deer tolerant, it requires very little care and provides year-round interest.
• Propagate by seed, sown in containers in a cold frame in spring or by division in early summer
• Cut out any dead leaves in summer.
• Generally disease free. Watch for Aphids.
