Evergold Sedge Ornamental Grasses Description

Evergold Sedge is an exquisite perennial grass known for its striking variegated foliage. With narrow, arching leaves featuring a vibrant blend of green and creamy yellow stripes, it brings both colour and texture to shaded or partially shaded areas of the garden. Ideal for adding a soft, elegant touch, Evergold Sedge works well in borders, as ground cover, or in containers, making it a versatile choice for a variety of garden styles.

Pruning Advice

Cutting Back: In early spring, before the new growth begins, cut back any old or damaged leaves to ground level. This will help fresh growth to emerge and maintain its neat appearance. This also prevents any old foliage from cluttering the plant.

Dividing: Every 2 to 3 years, divide the clumps to prevent overcrowding and to rejuvenate the plant. Division can also be used to propagate new plants for other areas of your garden.

Watering: While Evergold Sedge is relatively drought tolerant once established, it performs best in consistently moist soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to ensure the soil does not dry out completely.

General Maintenance: Remove any dead or damaged leaves as they appear throughout the year to help maintain a tidy appearance and ensure healthy growth.

Further Information

Year Round Interest: As an evergreen plant, Evergold Sedge retains its beautiful foliage throughout the year, offering consistent colour even in winter when many other plants are dormant.

Low Maintenance: Once established, Evergold Sedge is low maintenance, making it perfect for busy gardeners or those seeking a plant that requires minimal attention.

Shade Tolerant: It thrives in partial to full shade, making it an ideal solution for areas that receive little direct sunlight, such as beneath trees or in shaded corners of the garden.

Compact Size: Growing to around 30 cm (12 inches) in height, Evergold Sedge is perfect for adding texture and colour to low borders, ground cover, or containers, without overwhelming other plants.

Versatility: It is well suited to a variety of garden settings, including woodland gardens, rockeries, and as a contrast plant for darker, leafy areas. Its delicate form makes it ideal for combining with other shade loving plants, such as ferns or hostas.
