Carex oshimensis 'Eversheen'

 

Yellow Variegated Japanese Sedge ('Evercolor' Series)

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. 'Eversheen' - in the 'Evercolor' series - is a variegated sedge, with acid yellow striped dark green foliage

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Mid Spring

Suitable for mass planting and for planting as a specimen in a container. Plant in any soil that doesn't get too dry. Use a good quality general purpose compost for container growing. New plants are best planted in early to mid-spring. Water in well and keep well watered during the plant's first year.
