This is the most compact of all the EverColor® Sedges and is perfect for edging a border, softening a hardscape, spilling out of a container, or filling out a garden bed.
Sedges are ideal in Rain Gardens, ponds, or around the outskirts of Meditation and Zen gardens. Variegated Sedge Grass provides motion and color in partly sunny or partly shaded areas!
Plant Everlite en masse on hillsides and slopes to protect our precious groundwater from potentially polluted runoff from roofs and streets. The spreading roots and clumps help slow erosion on hillsides and soak up excess moisture on rooftop gardens.
- Beautiful White/Green Bi-Colored Blades
- Pretty, Fountain-Like Habit
- Evergreen Or Perennial
- Perfect For Small Gardens & Containers
- Water Gardens, Borders & Edging & Easy En Masse
#ProPlantTips for Care:
This type of Hair Grass requires full sun to part sun locations, but in the hottest climates, gives Sedges more moisture and afternoon shade or all-day dappled shade. Growing best in moist, well-drained soil, so provide them with consistent water.
Make sure to cut back all the foliage in the late winter or early spring each year before new growth emerges. You'll make way for fresh new leaves to emerge from the roots each spring! Otherwise, these petite powerhouses are quite easy-care. If you like to have a tidy space, gently rake them to clear fallen leaves.
- Great In Partial Sun or Part Shade
- Thrives in Moist, Well-Drained Soil
- Moist to Higher Moisture Locations
- Prune Down Or Clean Mounds In Early Spring
- Rabbit & Deer Resistant
