Carex oshimensis 'Carfit01'
EverColor Everest sedge
Dark green leaves with crisp white edges arch into a neat mound, adding a bright accent to shaded borders and containers. This sedge is grown for its foliage rather than its small flowers. It may retain color through mild winters but is not reliably evergreen in this region. Keep it evenly moist while establishing, and trim only weather-damaged leaves.
