Carex Evercolor Everest

Carex oshimensis 'Everest'

Carex 'Evercolor Everest' is a ornamental perennial sedge. A variegated carex with bold green and creamy-white striped foliage — one of the most visually striking of the evercolor sedges. Elegant and refined in shaded borders and containers. Adaptable to a wide range of conditions from moist shade to average borders. Largely evergreen and low maintenance. Cut back in late winter or early spring. Excellent for edging, woodland gardens, rain gardens, and containers where graceful, fine-textured foliage provides season-long interest.
