Evergreen Japanese Sedge Ornamental Grasses (Carex Oshimensis Evergreen)

Evergreen Japanese Sedge Ornamental Grasses Description

Evergreen Japanese Sedge is a graceful, low growing perennial grass that adds both texture and colour to shady garden spaces. Known for its dense, vibrant green foliage, this plant forms neat, arching clumps that remain attractive throughout the year. Its soft, fine textured leaves make it an ideal choice for ground cover, borders, or containers, providing a delicate contrast to other plants with more rigid or bold forms. This hardy sedge thrives in shaded areas, making it perfect for woodland gardens or other spots where other plants might struggle.

Pruning Advice

Cutting Back: In early spring, before the new growth starts, trim any old or damaged foliage back to the base of the plant. This will clear away any winter damaged leaves and make way for fresh, vibrant growth. Cutting back also helps maintain its compact form.

Division: Every few years (typically every 2 to 3 years), divide the clumps to prevent overcrowding and encourage healthier, more vigorous growth. Division can also be used to propagate new plants for other areas of the garden.

General Care: While Evergreen Japanese Sedge is relatively drought tolerant once established, it will perform best with regular watering, particularly during dry spells. Remove any dead or damaged leaves as needed to maintain its neat appearance.

Further Information

Evergreen: As the name suggests, Evergreen Japanese Sedge retains its vibrant green foliage throughout the year, providing continuous visual interest, even during winter months when many other plants have gone dormant.

Low Maintenance: This sedge is incredibly easy to care for. Once established, it requires little attention, making it a great option for gardeners looking for a hassle free, resilient plant.

Shade Tolerant: It excels in partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for areas that receive little direct sunlight, such as under trees or in shaded corners of the garden. It is a perfect addition to woodland gardens or shaded borders.

Compact Size: Reaching a height of 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 inches), it is ideal for use as ground cover, in containers, or as a low border plant, offering texture and interest without overwhelming the space.

Versatility: Its adaptability to a range of moist, well drained soils, along with its tolerance for shade, makes it a versatile plant that can be used in a variety of garden settings.
