‘EverColor Eversheen’ is one of the recent introductions of clumping sedges for part to full shade, bred for durability, evergreen year-round color, drought tolerance, and flexibility in design. The bright colors brighten up shady spots, and these novel sedges serve as companions for other plants with complementary or contrasting foliage.
Specifically, this ‘Eversheen’ variety features distinctive lime-yellow striped foliage that forms a tidy and no-maintenance mound that grows to about 10-18 in. tall x 12-16 in. wide, though its flowing leaves are often mixed with the foliage of its neighboring plant.
Pair ‘Eversheen’ with plants such as the dwarf Autumn fern (Dryopteris erythrosora), Epimedium, Hellebore, Evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium), and other woodland Carex species, including more in this series.
EverColor sedges are particularly terrific massed or in groups of three or five around focal-point plants, and are perfectly sized for large containers in shady locations, filling out the lower level of the pot and spilling over the edge.
These sedges aren’t fussy about soil type (though they won’t take saturated soils), and perform best in at least a little shade up to deep shade, becoming drought tolerant after establishment. Their full soil coverage prevents weeds and also offers habitat and winter protection for small wildlife and smaller beneficial garden organisms.
