Carex 'Everillo' - 3.5 inch Pots (Minimum Quantity: 25 Plants)
Carex 'Everillo' (PP21002; EverColor® series) is a striking evergreen sedge that brings a luminous touch to any garden with its cascading, chartreuse-to-golden foliage. This vibrant ornamental grass forms a graceful, arching mound, creating a dynamic contrast against darker greens and deep-hued flowers. Thriving in partial to full shade, ‘Everillo’ brightens up shadowy garden beds, borders, and containers with its year-round color, adding texture and movement to the landscape.
Low-maintenance and adaptable, ‘Everillo’ flourishes in well-drained, moist soil and is both deer-resistant and disease-tolerant. Its compact, clumping habit makes it an excellent choice for edging pathways, spilling over rock gardens, or softening the edges of water features. Whether used as a focal point in shady spaces or combined with hostas and ferns for a layered effect, this stunning sedge offers long-lasting beauty with minimal effort.
