Big excitement from a little plant, it's time to add some energy and excitement to your tired garden and we have just the thing for you! EverColor® Everlite Variegated Sedge Grass (Carex oshimensis 'Everlite') is the newest introduction in the EverColor® line of Sedges from the Southern Living® plant collection and it is about to blow the boring out of your garden!

This beauty has very distinctive coloration which will stand out like a beacon - albeit a soft, frothy one - in the landscape. Each blade has a soft creamy interior that glows against a rich deep-green edge. It looks stunning with dark-colored evergreens or the bright flowers of a perennial border.

It is super hardy and evergreen in warmer, frost-free climates and requires very little maintenance! Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 9, Everlite Sedge are dwarf-sized perennials growing 10-15 inches tall and 8-10 inches wide.

Landscape Application:

This little guy fits anywhere, sun or shade. It makes a BIG impact in a SMALL garden! Even if you only have a tiny spot like a pot on a balcony, you will love the gorgeous impression Everlite makes! 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.

#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
