Carex EverColor Everest Sedge
Best low-maintenance choice for busy gardeners seeking year-round shade color.
This is the ultimate problem-solver for those dark, neglected corners of the garden. While it lacks the dramatic blooms of a flowering perennial, it trades showy petals for a year-round, architectural fountain of white-edged foliage that thrives where almost nothing else will.
