EverColor® Everillo Sedge

EverColor® Everillo Sedge lights up shaded plantings with arching lime-green to golden-yellow foliage. The compact clump develops a soft cascading shape that works beautifully along walkways, beneath shrubs, or spilling from containers. It is grown primarily for its year-round foliage rather than its small spring flowers. Give it part shade, moist well-drained soil, and protection from the hottest afternoon sun. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
