About

The Ever Gold Japanese Sedge (Carex oshimensis 'Evergold') is a highly sought-after ornamental grass prized for its vibrant golden foliage and ability to add year-round interest to various garden settings. This low-maintenance, evergreen perennial is an excellent choice for adding texture, color, and contrast to garden beds, borders, and containers.

The Overall Plant

Ever Gold Japanese Sedge is a compact, clump-forming perennial that typically grows to a height of 12-18 inches with a similar spread. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-10 and prefers well-draining, moist soil. Although it can tolerate some sun, this sedge flourishes best in partial to full shade.

Its adaptability to various growing conditions, ability to tolerate both drought and wet soils, and resilience in the face of pests and diseases make it a popular choice for numerous landscape applications, including woodland gardens, rain gardens, and water features.

The Foliage

The standout feature of the Ever Gold Japanese Sedge is its striking foliage. The grass-like leaves display a vivid yellow center stripe flanked by dark green margins, creating an attractive contrast that captures attention. The arching, mounded habit of the plant adds an elegant touch and soft movement to the garden, while its evergreen foliage ensures visual interest throughout the year.

The golden leaves of the Ever Gold Japanese Sedge pair beautifully with other plants in the landscape, particularly those with dark foliage or richly-colored blooms. The fine-textured foliage also makes it an ideal choice for softening the edges of pathways, borders, and container plantings.
