Japanese Sedge
Carex oshimensis 'Everlime'
- With its strappy variegated green and yellow blades, 'Everlime' is a sedge that both shines on its own, while at the same time serving as an excellent foil for other flowering plants.
- Compact enough to grow in a pot on the patio, this variety is also well-suited to prairie-style planting schemes, alongside other ornamental grasses and wildflowers.
- Fully hardy, boasting an RHS rating of H7, 'Everlime' will easily withstand whatever even the harshest British winters can throw its way.
- Throughout spring, the grass also produces dainty brown flowers between 10 and 15cm long, which though subtle, add another layer of interest to this already-charming plant.
