EverColor® 'Everest' Sedge has gracefully arching green foliage with clean white margins. Variegated fountain-like foliage looks lovely spilling from containers, or massed as a groundcover to brighten shady beds. Part of the popular EverColor® Series, 'Everest' is easy to maintain, with neat mounding evergreen foliage that provides texture and beauty all year. Use this ornamental sedge to edge walkways or rain gardens, beautify a slope or bank, or plant en masse to create a lovely ground cover in sun-to-part-shade areas. (Carex oshimensis)

Description

EverColor® 'Everest' Variegated Sedge, also known as Japanese Sedge, offers reliable color from season to season. Ribbon-like blades provide rich texture to contrast broad-leaved shade plants like Hostas and Hydrangeas. Perfect for brightening shady corners of the landscape, the white striping lends an almost silver effect that compliments white-blooming annuals and perennials. Also works well along pond edges and in rain gardens. Plants grow in compact mounds that can be tidied in spring by gently raking out old foliage.

Doing well

"Sustaining itself well in shady garden, though so far slow-growing"

— M (4/5)

I love these plants

"Beautiful plants and already large. They lighten up an area under hydrangeas on a side of our yard against a fence. The rabbits tried them, but they haven't been back. I ordered so many that I also planted a few of the plants around our patio in the shade. They are very happy there and I'm very happy with the size and health of the plants that i received."
