About

The Everest Japanese Sedge (Carex oshimensis 'Everest') is a popular ornamental grass known for its striking variegated foliage and its ability to thrive in a variety of growing conditions. This low-maintenance, evergreen perennial adds visual interest and texture to gardens, borders, and container plantings.

The Overall Plant

The Everest Japanese Sedge is a compact, clump-forming perennial that typically reaches a height of 1-2 feet with a similar spread. It is well-suited to USDA hardiness zones 5-9 and prefers well-draining, moist soil with a preference for partial to full shade. Its adaptability to various light conditions and ability to tolerate both drought and wet soils make it an excellent choice for a range of landscape settings, including woodland gardens, rain gardens, and along water features.

The Foliage

The main attraction of the Everest Japanese Sedge is its stunning variegated foliage. The grass-like leaves are dark green with bright white margins, creating a dramatic contrast that catches the eye. The arching, mounded habit of the plant adds texture and movement to the garden, while the evergreen nature of the foliage ensures year-round visual interest.

The variegated leaves of the Everest Japanese Sedge can be used to create striking contrasts with other plants in the landscape, especially those with dark foliage or colorful blooms. Additionally, its fine-textured foliage makes it an ideal choice for softening the edges of pathways, borders, and container plantings.
