Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This Sedge thrives in part shade to full shade, requiring about 2 to 4 hours of indirect or dappled light. While it can handle more sun in cooler climates, too much direct afternoon heat will scorch the vibrant lime-yellow foliage and turn the tips brown.
  • Soil: It prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, similar to the floor of a healthy woodland. If you have heavy clay, mix in some compost to improve drainage; for sandy soil, add peat moss to help hold onto the moisture this grass craves.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Everillo Sedge twice a week to ensure the roots establish deeply into the soil. Once mature, this grass is surprisingly resilient, but it still performs best with consistent moisture; inconsistent watering often leads to duller color and less "glow" in the garden. If the soil feels dry an inch below the surface, it is time to give it a soak.

Pruning Tips

Since this is an evergreen grass, it does not die back to the ground, so you should never cut it to the root in the fall. In early spring, simply "comb" through the blades with gloved hands to remove dead foliage or use sharp shears to snip off any winter-damaged tips. Think of it like a light spring grooming rather than a heavy haircut to keep the mound looking fresh and tidy.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once in early spring as new growth begins to emerge. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer or fall, as this encourages tender new growth that can be easily damaged by the first frost. A single application of a general-purpose formula provides all the nutrients needed to maintain that signature neon-yellow hue throughout the year.

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
