This Asian native shrub is ornamental in mixed borders and containers. Its stylish grass-like leaves, featuring silver and green stripes, add beauty to patio pots. The plant is evergreen, providing year-round interest and winter garden appeal. In summer, it produces small, inconspicuous brown blooms on spikes. The leathery, dark green leaves are accented with crisp silver-white margins, creating a beautiful contrast. This Carex variety displays more vibrant and distinct foliage colors than other varieties. It forms a neat, fountain-like mound arching outwards from the base. Carex Everest Sedge thrives in both full sun and partial shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil. While somewhat tolerant of dry conditions, it dislikes waterlogged soil in winter. Everest is an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance plant. Once established, it can reach a height of 2 feet and develop tolerance to drought and cold. Remove any leaves damaged by winter winds. Carex Everest Sedge is a versatile shrub, ideal for mixed containers or patio pots. Use it to brighten dull garden corners or beds. Its architectural form is appealing when planted near pool areas and decorated with gravel mulch.
