Description
The EverColor® series of sedge grass is known for its quality selection, so the arrival of the EverColor Everillo Sedge Grass (Carex oshimensis 'Everillo') should excite those familiar with the brand. Those who have not heard much about EverColor® should read on to understand what the big deal is!
This spectacular Sedge Grass is new to the game, but it sure does make a loud entrance! This evergreen groundcover sports neon lime green foliage that arches wide around its epicenter, giving a burst of color to any garden lucky to have some!
As the Grass ages, it slowly turns more and more golden which adds to its seasons of interest. It's hard for words to do this transformation justice, so we at Nature Hills highly recommend you pick one up and see for yourself!
One way to affect your plant's appearance is to regulate the amount of sunlight it receives through the seasons. More direct sunlight exposure tends to mean your Sedge will start to show off its amber hues much sooner.
The EverColor® Everillo Sedges boast a mounding growth habit, which means the growth is largely centered around the middle of the Sedge. As the Grass grows longer it will begin to arch out from its core and add dimension and texture to your garden space.
Landscape Application:
Due to its compact growth and root structure, the Everillo Sedge can grow either free-range in the garden or fit in different types of containers! The unique growth of this Sedge makes it a perfect fit for window box planters too! If used in planters, several of them can be placed spread through a balcony or porch border for a bright accenting plant that will pleasantly add ambiance to the space.
Several of these Sedge plants in sequence bring a vivid pop of color to borders! Use them as the edge of a flower bed for a green border marker, or align them with a walkway to bring attention to the start of a garden bed!
Need something to round out the empty patches in your Rock Garden? The wide spread of this Sedge grass's foliage makes it an excellent choice for a groundcover filler. Likewise, Sedge works in Rain Gardens and higher moisture areas too!
No matter where you plant this Carex it is important to remember that this Grass is a surefire way to spice up your garden in dreary winter months. Plant this Grass according to what parts of your growing space will need that extra "oomph" to cheer you up in the dead of winter in frost-free climates!
- Bright Perennials - Evergreen In Warm Climates
- Neon Lime Green Foliage!
- Arching Spilling Foliage
- Great In Containers & Planters & Small-Space Gardens
- Stunning Accent Plant, En Masse, Edging & Perfect for Slopes
#ProPlantTips for Care:
The EverColor® Carex is going to be mighty thirsty when you first transplant this bright grass. Be sure to water regularly while it's getting established, then you should be able to tone it down to a weekly watering session.
This Sedge prefers partial shade to full shade and it can be susceptible to sun damage if left in full sun for long periods of time. If you start to notice signs of damage caused by excessive sun exposure you should consider replanting to more shady spots in your growing area.
The EverColor™ Everillo Carex tends to appreciate water more than your average Grass, so in an effort to preemptively assist in healthy growth, you need to pick the right soil. Moist, well-drained soils are the best for a healthy evergreen Grass such as this.
This Sedge Grass should hardly ever require pruning. If pruning is absolutely necessary try to wait until frost season is over to ensure the safety of your plant's vulnerable grow spots, but bear in mind that this grass takes a lot of time to regrow anything that was previously pruned.
This particular grass is fairly deer and pest resistant, but can still be prone to certain fungal problems. Be sure your growing area is well-circulated to prevent these issues from occurring
- Partial Sun to Full Shade
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to High Moisture
- Prune Back In Early Spring
- Disease & Pest Resistant
- Very Low Maintenance

Love this grass!! The lime green color is a show stopper! I get compliments frequently. Mine are in concrete, tall planters.
Hi Robin, Thank you so much for the kind words! Your Everillo Sedge look absolutely stunning, thank you for sharing a pic! One tip to keep them looking their best is to divide the clumps every couple of years as they fill out, which helps maintain that vibrant color and keeps the plant healthy. Happy growing - Nature Hills Customer Support
Only about 2 weeks old and looking good.
Two weeks in and already looking good is a great sign with Everillo. Once it settles in and the roots get established, that bright chartreuse color really deepens and it starts to fill out nicely. Thanks for sharing the early update, Gunnar.
I had a top notch landscape architect design put in 32 of these in a mounded group back in 2020 in southern Ohio and they have done very well. The only problems come from the fact this part of our yard is the edge between manecured and natural so we get a fair number of rabbits that graze on the edge plants in the winter so they are always pretty short, not arching. We also get some other critter that digs pretty deep right at the edge of the roots on one or two so those a small and weak as well no matter how many times I add soil to the pocket. The coldest winters turn the plants brown and I am conflicted as to whether I need to shear the brown leaves off. This mass planted sedge has received many compliments. So nice to have such a bright hardy plant for an area with only dapped sunlight.
Dear MissyB,
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful update on your colorful sedge grasses! We’re absolutely delighted to hear they have flourished under the guidance of your landscape architect and have become a standout, much-loved feature in your southern Ohio garden.
It sounds like you’ve faced some challenges with local wildlife and cold winters, which are indeed common for edge plantings. Rabbits nibbling the foliage can keep those graceful arching forms a bit curtailed—sometimes blush-resistant friends like rabbit deterrents or applying a bit of natural repellent spray can help encourage fuller growth over time without disturbing the environment. Regarding the digging critters compromising the roots, adding stone or chicken wire discreetly beneath your topsoil might dissuade digging without impacting the plants’ aesthetics.
As for the brown leaves after winter, lightly shearing the dead or browned foliage in early spring is a great idea. This will encourage fresh growth while keeping your mounded group tidy and vibrant, preparing it to receive compliments anew!
If you’d like, we can also send you some resources on natural wildlife deterrent options or best seasonal practices for clumping grasses that thrive in dappled sun. Just let us know!
Your garden sounds wonderful—and its bursts of color truly make all the care worthwhile.
Bloom on,
The Nature Hills Plant Knowledge Team
