Carex oshimensis, commonly called Evergold is the Weeping Willow of perennial groundcovers. Fountains of slim, weeping, arched leaves with broad ivory stripes adorn this unique ornamental clump-forming grass.

Grown for its strikingly bold and eye-catching foliage, it is one of the most graceful of the variegated Sedges. Stunning spilling over into a path like strands of gold, she is also a lovely architectural feature in a container or window box.

Lending itself to a diverse range of landscape settings including borders, near water features or planted in mass as a weed-supressing groundcover, you will constantly find reasons to chooose this perennial. If you need a Sedge that tolerates full sun, you'll want Evergold as she puts up with full sun in northern and central zones.

Evergold is long lasting and easy to grow and with its dramatic weeping habit, you will find neighbors stopping in to ask where you found this groundcover.

Things to Note
In northern zones Evergold tends to languish in full shade and does best when placed out of the way of winter winds and provided with some protection such as snow or straw.

Not recommended for full sun in southern zones.

Gardener Tips
For a low maintenance patio table centerpiece we love to select a lovely pot in a vibrant Mexico-inspired color such as cobalt and fill it with Evergold. In fact, we've been known to group pots of various sizes filled with Evergold all around our outdoor living space.

No unusual shipping concerns for this plant.

In northern zones this Sedge tends to languish in full shade and does best when placed out of the way of winter winds and provided with some protection such as snow or straw.

Not recommended for full sun in southern zones. Sedge looks its best when the foliage is cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth occurs.

Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system.
