Eversheen Sedge Ornamental Grasses (Carex Oshimensis Eversheen)

Eversheen Sedge Ornamental Grasses Description

Eversheen Sedge is a striking, compact ornamental grass that adds texture and elegance to shaded garden spaces. Known for its attractive variegated foliage, it features narrow, arching leaves that are green with creamy white edges, creating a shimmering effect that catches the light. This evergreen perennial is ideal for adding year round colour and interest to gardens, particularly in woodland, shaded borders, or containers. Its neat, clump forming growth habit and low maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to introduce a soft, refined texture to their landscapes.

Pruning Advice

Cutting Back: In early spring, before the new growth begins, cut back any old or damaged leaves to ground level. This helps clear away winter damaged foliage and encourages fresh new growth. Cutting back also helps maintain a tidy, clump-forming habit.

Division: Every 2 to 3 years, divide the clumps to prevent overcrowding and promote vigorous growth. Division can also be used to propagate new plants for other parts of the garden or for sharing with others.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, particularly during dry spells, as Eversheen Sedge prefers regular watering. Ensure the plant does not sit in waterlogged soil, as this can lead to root rot.

General Care: Remove any dead or damaged leaves as needed throughout the year to maintain a neat and tidy appearance. This will also help prevent any unsightly or leggy growth.
