Evercolor® Everest Variegated Sedge — Carex oshimensis 'Carfit01' (Evergreen Ornamental Grass)

Evercolor® Everest Variegated Sedge (Carex oshimensis 'Carfit01') is one of the most striking and versatile variegated ornamental sedges available — a compact, clump-forming evergreen ornamental grass with exceptionally tidy, slightly arching grass-like foliage boldly patterned with dark green centers and broad, clean white margins that create a crisp, high-contrast effect that brightens shaded borders, woodland gardens, and container plantings with year-round structural interest. Unlike many ornamental grasses that go dormant in winter, Everest holds its handsome variegated foliage through all four seasons, providing reliable ground-level texture and color even in the coldest months. Thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soils in part sun to shade; drought tolerant once established. Can be grown in near full sun if soil is consistently moist, though foliage color is richest in part shade. Cut foliage to the ground in late winter and remove it to make way for fresh growth. Hardy to Zone 5.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Drought-tolerant once established. Cut foliage to the ground in late winter and remove old growth.
LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Wildlife Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Ponds and Streams, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Cardinal Flower, Bearded Iris, Foam Flower
