You'll appreciate these "go-to" favorites in your landscape! Let Evergold Sedge (Carex hachioensis 'Evergold') catch the available light, and sparkle with the rising and setting sun. These compact, mounded Grasses feature lovely variegated leaves that stay green with a sporty, creamy-yellow stripe down the center of every blade!
These clump-forming Japanese Sedge Grasses have a cascading habit as the interesting leathery leaves arch up and spout outwards and down. Let these striking little pom-poms decorate your yard and catch your eye.
Cascading leaves arch up and out in a lovely fountain. Each blade of grass features a cream-colored strip running down the center. You'll swear these are the beloved houseplants called Spider Plants, but these rugged plants are rated for freezing cold and can put up with scorching hot summers.
Humidity? No problem. Aridity? Give them water, and they'll perform like champs!
Rely on these beautiful, hard-working plants. You'll love their perky look and appreciate the way their leaves sway in the breeze! Best of all? Evergold is so easy to grow! Growing throughout USDA planting zones 5 to 10, reaching 12 - 18 inches tall but a bit slimmer in width.
Landscape Application:
Ornamental Sedges make easy-care foliage plants. Use Sedge to boost interest with graceful, arching, variegated blades sweeping the path. Kids love running their hands along the leaves, and "patting" them.
Fill an open spot near your downspout or soften the edge of a Rain Garden. Tuck them underneath your hose! Add a fun texture that softens your space. Use them throughout your landscape and outdoor containers. Study these beautiful small grasses up close by adding them to exterior containers. They make great "Thrillers" in smaller pots or "Fillers" in large pots. They'll look great all year long!
Evergold Sedges are perfect for border plantings. Use them at the very edge of every planting bed in a long, running edging planting. You'll tie the look of your garden design together.
For a mass planting, space them 12 inches apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. You'll create a wonderful, mounding texture that looks great at both a distance and up close.
- Leaves Feature Green Edges & Creamy-Yellow Stripes
- Compact Mound of Foliage With Excellent Accent Texture
- Semi-Evergreen Leaves Add Seasonal Interest in Winter
- Use at the Edge of your Rain Garden
- Excellent Choice for Borders & Great in Containers
#ProPlantTips for Care:
These easy-care plants tolerate a wide variety of growing conditions. Evergold does best in a sunny spot, with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. They are heat tolerant and cold hardy. They'll survive the dreaded dry shade but truly shine in rich, well-drained soil that remains moist.
They'll handle occasional wet soils, too. Provide regular water for best results. Add a 3-inch layer of mulch over the root systems to keep them cool and moist.
Evergold is a cool-season type of Japanese Sedge Grass that can be left up for winter interest until early spring. In warmer climates, the leathery leaves will remain evergreen. Snip a few inches of old growth off in late winter to start over fresh. They'll bounce back with spring growth.
- Partial Sun to Full Shade
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to High Moisture
- Prune Back In Early Spring
- Disease & Pest Resistant
- Very Low Maintenance
These easy-care, variegated plants look amazing each year when planted in your yard. In your outdoor containers, they'll be an extremely dynamic focal point for you. Enjoy the Proven Winners® Evergold Sedge Grass, and order today at NatureHills.com!
