Grass Carex Evercolor

EverColor® Everglow Sedge

Grass ‘Carex Evercolor’ is a standout ornamental sedge prized for its vibrant, evergreen foliage and graceful, cascading texture. This versatile plant forms neat mounds of fine, arching leaves, typically variegated with soft green centers and creamy or golden margins, depending on the cultivar. Its luminous color brightens shady corners, softens garden edges, and adds refined texture to mixed plantings throughout the year.

Unlike many grasses that go dormant seasonally, Carex Evercolor maintains its fresh, polished look in every season, making it exceptionally valuable for four-season landscapes. Its compact size and reliable habit allow it to perform beautifully in containers, mass plantings, woodland gardens, and waterwise designs. Whether you’re looking to add contrast, soften hard lines, or introduce subtle movement, this evergreen sedge provides enduring beauty with minimal care requirements.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in partial sun to shade, though some cultivars tolerate more sun in cooler climates. Space plants to allow soft mounding form.

Watering:
Water regularly during establishment. Mature plants prefer consistently moist soil but tolerate brief dry periods once rooted.

Pruning:
Trim back any damaged or tired foliage in late winter or early spring. Avoid cutting back hard unless renewing older clumps.

Pest Control:
Generally pest and disease resistant. Monitor for snails or slugs in moist, shaded conditions and treat as needed.

Soil Tips:
Thrives in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture and support strong root health.
