Carex oshimensis 'Everillo'
Confirmed format: 2 Litre Pot
Plant Highlights: Vibrant golden-yellow evergreen foliage • Graceful, arching habit • Brightens borders throughout the year • Excellent for containers and edging • Easy to maintain
Overview
Carex oshimensis 'Everillo' is a compact evergreen ornamental sedge grown for its striking golden-yellow foliage, which brings long-lasting colour and texture to the garden in every season. Its fine, arching leaves form a soft, cascading mound that works beautifully alongside flowering perennials, shrubs and other ornamental grasses. The luminous foliage is particularly effective in partially shaded areas, where it helps brighten planting schemes, while also performing well in sunny positions with adequate soil moisture.
Why We Love It
'Everillo' provides dependable year-round colour without overpowering neighbouring plants. Its flowing habit softens hard edges, brightens darker corners and adds valuable contrast to green, bronze and purple foliage throughout the garden.
