Carex EverColor Collection
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EverColor Collection features evergreen sedges in a range of foliage colors
for a palette to fit any garden style. All have a mounding, fountain shape that is
graceful and eye catching in shady areas. Easy to grow, with few pest and disease
problems, these Carex varieties are well behaved and versatile. Introduced by
Concept Plants; hybridized by Pat FitzGerald.
Everest—white-striped, green leaves
‘Evergold’—dark green leaves with a central, creamy yellow band
‘Everillo’—lime green foliage that turns to gold
USES
These midsized sedges are ideal in containers, either as fillers for mixed plantings
or by themselves for a soft, arching look. The color range makes them a perfect
complement to flowers and other foliage plants. In the garden, the EverColors
make themselves at home in beds and borders, lending a soft accent to more
upright, flowering plants. Winter plantings can be made brighter with these
evergreens.
GARDENER TIPS
• Plant in full sun to part shade. In hot, dry climates, provide some shade.
• Plant in soil with good drainage.
• Keep moist but do not overwater.
• Feed lightly. Too much fertilizer or too little water will produce burned leaf
tips.
