EverColor® 'Eversheen' Sedge Grass

EverColor® ‘Eversheen’ is a low, mounding Japanese sedge with lime-yellow striped leaves and deep green margins. It makes a bright foliage accent in shaded borders, mixed containers, and plantings beneath shrubs. ## Foliage and flowers The breeder identifies ‘Eversheen’ as a mound-forming Carex oshimensis selection and gives a mature size near 0.40 m high and wide. Its lime-yellow stripes and deep green margins stand out against broad-leaved perennials. Small brown flowers are subtle; published bloom timing ranges from early spring to late spring or early summer. ## Siting Partial to full shade suits this sedge, though it can take some sun in cooler climates. Grow it in moist, well-drained soil and avoid standing water. Published hardiness guidance varies: Perennials.com lists USDA zones 5–9, while Hoffman Nursery lists zones 6–8, so follow local nursery guidance for exposed or colder sites.
