Japanese Sedge Variegated - Carex oshimensis 'Everest'

Carex oshimensis 'Everest' is an elegant, mound forming evergreen ornamental grass valued for its distinctive silvery white and deep green striped foliage. Its fine texture and graceful, arching habit make it a perfect plant for softening edges in modern landscapes or cascading from large planters. This variety performs well in both full sun and partial shade, offering year round structure and contrast. Flowers appear in late spring and summer but are not showy, maintaining a clean, refined appearance throughout the year.

Key Features:

• Soil: Prefers well drained soils; tolerates sandy and clay types when established.
• Light: Full sun to semi-shade; bright light enhances foliage colour.
• Watering: Keep soil moist, especially in warmer months.
• Fertiliser: Apply a slow release fertiliser annually in spring for lush growth.
• Maintenance: Remove old foliage as needed to maintain a tidy appearance.
• Flowering: Inconspicuous brown flowers in late spring to summer.

Use ‘Everest’ as a contrast plant beside dark leaved varieties or sleek hardscaping for maximum visual impact.
