Grass Carex Everest

EverColor® Everest Variegated Sedge

Grass ‘Carex Everest’ is a refined evergreen sedge celebrated for its crisp variegated foliage and consistently tidy appearance. Forming low, arching mounds, its leaves display vivid white margins that contrast beautifully with deep green centers. This bright, polished color pattern makes Carex Everest especially valuable in shade gardens, where it lifts the visual tone and creates light-reflecting accents among darker plants like ferns, hostas, and heucheras.

Compact and slow-spreading, Carex Everest excels in borders, mass plantings, rock gardens, and containers. Its evergreen nature ensures year-round interest, and its soft, flowing texture brings gentle movement to the landscape. This sedge thrives in cooler conditions and maintains its clean look throughout every season with very little intervention. Whether used as a standout accent, a repeating border plant, or a cohesive groundcover, Carex Everest delivers dependable beauty and lasting garden structure.
