CAREX ‘EVERGOLD’
'Evergold' is a dense, clump-­‐forming sedge rising from 8-­‐18" tall and to 20" wide. It is
grown for its striking foliage effect. 'Evergold’ features grass-­‐like, arching, variegated
leaves, which are creamy yellow with dark green borders. It produces drooping clumps
of brownish flowers in late spring that are rather insignificant. Sedges are grass-­‐like
plants, mostly preferring sites with moist, rich soil. This Japanese selecJon forms a low cascading clump of leathery green leaves, with a
bright creamy-­‐yellow stripe down the center. This is a choice plant for edging, or in
the rock garden. If the Jps of the leaves get windburn over the winter, they may be
trimmed with scissors in the spring. This is a well-­‐behaved, non-­‐spreading plant. Clumps may be divided in early spring. Tolerates dry shade with occasional watering.
This sedge is evergreen in the South, maintaining a good appearance in both summer
and winter. It’s not evergreen in the north, although some foliage color will persist through the winter. Miami, Florida

NOTEWORTHY CHARACTERISTICS
Fountains of narrow leaves with broad cream stripes adorn this clump-­‐ forming, shade-­‐
loving grass. 'Evergold' is lovely spilling over into a path or as an architectural feature in a container or window box. It is long lasJng and easy to grow! This is one of the most beauJful of all the sedges available. The dramaJc weeping habit lends itself to a number of landscape seZngs...as a woodland border, near a water feature, or used as an eye-­‐
catching mass...stunning! As with all sedges, it's highly deer-­‐resistant. Ornamental Grasses are gaining in popularity all over the U.S. due to their undemanding nature and long lasJng, year round beauty. There is nothing that adds such interesJng forms, textures and movement to a garden, than with this diverse plant group. They can be planted along banks of ponds, incorporated into perennial gardens, grouped together, uJlized as a ground cover along walkways, paths or on steep banks. They aren't fussy about soil requirements, are drought tolerant as well as insect and disease resistant. Miami, Florida
