Common Name: Japanese Sedge Latin Name: Carex oshimensis 'Eversheen' Soil: Fertile moist, well-drained soil Position: Full sun or partial shade Hardiness: Hardy Eventual height/spread: 0.3m/0.5m Special features: An evergreen which will add vibrancy to your garden all year round
The 'Eversheen' is aptly named as its lustrous leaves have a healthy sheen to them all year round. The leaves are long, arching and bright yellow-green in colour, with dark green margins. This variegation adds year-round interest and the vibrancy of the leaves will brighten up any winter bed or border.
The foliage forms a dense mound and looks perfect with other low, tufted perennials: we love the way the 'Eversheen' looks alongside the copper and dark green tones of the Carex Testacea, but it really will compliment so many different plants that you can place it anywhere. Its architectural form will bring shape and movement at ground level, or you can plant it in a pot as a specimen.
