Carex oshimensis 'Everillo' (PBR) (EverColor Series)
sedge
Lime green is such a great colour for the garden. That's because it's so fresh and bright - and when placed in a mixed scheme, it seems to bring darker shades to life. This new sedge is perfect then for acting as a foil for richer greens, as well as strong shades of purple, plum and orange. >Carex oshimensis 'Everillo' is also very easy to grow.
How to care for Carex oshimensis Everillo (PBR) (EverColor Series):
Plant Carex in well-drained soil, ideally enriched with organic matter, and choose a spot in full sun or light shade. Space plants to allow for their mature size and water regularly until established. Feed during the growing season and lift and divide crowded clumps in early spring to maintain vigour.
Most evergreen and semi-evergreen Carex don’t need cutting back in the the traditional sense. Instead, in late winter or early spring, just comb through the plant with your fingers or a rake to remove any dead or tatty foliage. If the plant looks untidy or has suffered winter damage, you can lightly trim back the worst leaves, but avoid hard pruning as it can spoil the natural shape and regrowth is quite slow.
