Carex oshimensis 'Evergold'

Carex morrowii 'Aureovariegata'

Carex is an ornamental sedge with many different varieties now available, in a range of colours and textures. Ornamental grasses tolerate a wide range of conditions, but most like a sunny position in light, moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil. They do not need much feeding and just one application of a balanced fertiliser in spring is adequate. 'Evergold' sports vibrant foliage all year round. Each narrow blade has a central yellow strip. Evergreen. Fully Hardy. Excellent ground cover.
