Carex oshimensis 'Evergold' Sedge (1 Gallon) is a versatile and eye-catching ornamental grass, appreciated for its vibrant, golden-striped foliage that brightens up shady garden areas and containers.

Description:

  • Dimensions: Grows to a height of 12-18 inches with a spread of 18-24 inches.
  • Sun Exposure: Thrives in partial to full shade but can tolerate some morning sun, ideally receiving 2-4 hours of direct sunlight or filtered light.
  • Water Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil that is kept consistently moist. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid waterlogged conditions.
  • Hardiness Zones: Hardy in Zones 5-9.
  • Bloom Time: Primarily grown for its foliage; flowers are inconspicuous.
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed. Remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy and healthy.

How to Plant:

  • Location: Perfect for shaded garden beds, borders, or containers. Prefers locations with partial to full shade.
  • Soil Preparation: Use well-draining soil. Enhance soil fertility and structure with compost or well-rotted manure if necessary.
  • Planting: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. Position the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
  • Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for their spread and ensure good airflow.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods.

Fun Fact: The 'Evergold' Sedge is a popular choice for adding year-round color to the garden. Its bright green leaves, accented with creamy yellow stripes, create a striking contrast in shaded areas, making it an ideal plant for brightening up dark corners of the garden or adding a splash of color to containers.
