Carex hachijoensis

Grass ‘Carex Evergold’ is an eye-catching evergreen sedge prized for its radiant golden foliage and tidy, mounding habit. Its compact, arching leaves maintain a bright, sunlit tone throughout the growing season, making it a standout choice for shade gardens, borders, and container plantings. The foliage catches light beautifully, adding warmth and vibrancy to garden beds, walkways, or mixed plantings with darker foliage plants like hostas or ferns.

Carex Evergold forms a low, elegant mound, offering a graceful texture that contrasts nicely with other perennials and shrubs. Its slow-spreading habit ensures a manageable, refined appearance year-round. The sedge’s consistent evergreen nature provides structural interest in the garden even during winter months. Whether used as a striking accent plant or in mass plantings, Carex Evergold delivers both visual appeal and practical versatility with minimal effort.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in partial sun to shade. Ensure good soil drainage and leave space for the mound to expand naturally.

Watering:
Keep soil consistently moist during establishment. Mature plants tolerate light dryness but perform best with regular watering.

Pruning:
Remove dead or discolored foliage in early spring. Light trimming maintains its neat, rounded shape.

Pest Control:
Relatively pest-free. Monitor for slugs or snails in damp conditions and treat as necessary.

Soil Tips:
Prefers rich, well-draining soil. Mulch lightly to retain moisture and protect roots in colder climates.
