This plant's foliage consists of long, arcing blades of grass-like stems with deep green margins and a lime yellow center. This particular sedge gets its name "Eversheen" from its uniquely glossy appearance which is a sight to behold as it waves in the wind.

This plant is particularly self-sufficient, able to get by with just the right amount of water and very little trimming. Keep this plant well watered until it takes to its new home, then sit back and enjoy the view as it grows and shimmers in the summer breeze.

#ProPlantTips for Care

The Evercolor Eversheen Carex is adapted for partial shade to full shade. Long exposure to full sun will yellow the blades of grass over time.

It is important to keep this sedge's soil moist during the warmer months. Too much water staying for too long can be hazardous to this plant's health too, so be sure to use well drained soil when possible.

This plant is remarkably resistant to mammalian pests. Deer and rabbits tend to leave this plant alone, so fencing in your sedge should be unnecessary.

While the Evercolor Eversheen Carex is also mostly disease resistant, this sedge can still be susceptible to insects. Keep an eye on your plant for signs of aphid damage and be ready to transfer some ladybugs to your garden if the need arises.

This plant grows fairly controlled and has little need for pruning except for the occasional snip. If your plant looks like it could use a haircut, make sure to complete during the early summer so you don't damage any new growth.
