Carex oshimensis Evercolor ‘Everillo’
The superlative evergreen sedge, Carex Evercolor 'Everillo', emerges lime green, then turns to golden yellow.
‘Everillo’ is a fantastic recent intro with evergreen blades emerging lime green, then turning golden yellow. Use in the border or in containers for dramatic textural and colour contrast. Bred by Fitzgerald Nurseries who works with mutations of Carex ‘Evergold’. Useful in the border, near a water feature, in mass plantings, and in containers! Though recommended for average to moist sites this species is tolerant of dry shade.
