Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in partial to full shade for best color. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in well-drained, moisture-retentive soil.

Watering:
Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season. Avoid waterlogging, but do not let the soil fully dry out.

Pruning:
Trim back any damaged or faded foliage in early spring to encourage fresh growth. Remove spent leaves as needed for tidiness.

Pest Control:
Carex Everillo is generally pest-resistant. Monitor for slugs or snails in damp, shaded areas and manage with traps or organic deterrents.

Soil Tips:
Prefers rich, humus-based soil with good drainage. Mulch annually to retain moisture and enhance soil structure.
