Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of soil does EverColor® Everlime need—well-drained or moist?

  • EverColor® Everlime tolerates wet to soggy soil conditions, which sets it apart from other ornamental grasses. This adaptable sedge thrives in moist areas where many grasses would struggle. Plant it near water features or in poorly draining spots for best results.

What are the care requirements and maintenance for EverColor® Everlime, like pruning?

  • EverColor® Everlime is extremely low-maintenance, requiring minimal care once established in zones 5-9. Simply cut back the 12-15 inch clumps to 3-4 inches in late winter before new growth emerges. Shop at Nature Hills for this easy-care sedge.

Will EverColor® Everlime stay evergreen in my zone, or does it die back in winter?

  • EverColor® Everlime is semi-evergreen in zones 5-9, meaning it may die back partially in colder winters but retains most foliage in milder climates. In zones 7-9, expect good winter color retention, while zones 5-6 will see more dieback. Cut back any damaged foliage in early spring before new growth emerges.

What is the recommended planting spacing between EverColor® Everlime plants?

  • Space EverColor® Everlime plants 18-24 inches apart to accommodate their mature spread. This spacing allows each clump to develop its full width while creating continuous coverage for groundcover applications. Plant closer for quicker fill-in or wider apart for individual specimen plantings.

Can EverColor® Everlime be used in containers or as a ground cover?

  • EverColor® Everlime works excellently both as groundcover and in containers, forming 12-15" tall clumps that spread 18-24" wide. In containers, it serves as both a thriller and spiller with its striking lime-edged foliage. Plant en masse for groundcover or use singly in pots - both options are available at naturehills.com.
