Landscape Application: Ornamental Sedges make easy-care foliage plants. Use Sedge to boost interest with graceful, arching, variegated blades sweeping the path. Kids love running their hands along the leaves, and "patting" them. Fill an open spot near your downspout or soften the edge of a Rain Garden. Tuck them underneath your hose! Add a fun texture that softens your space. Use them throughout your landscape and outdoor containers. Study these beautiful small grasses up close by adding them to exterior containers. They make great "Thrillers" in smaller pots or "Fillers" in large pots. They'll look great all year long! Evergold Sedges are perfect for border plantings. Use them at the very edge of every planting bed in a long, running edging planting. You'll tie the look of your garden design together. For a mass planting, space them 12 inches apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. You'll create a wonderful, mounding texture that looks great at both a distance and up close.

Evergold does best in a sunny spot, with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. They are heat tolerant and cold hardy. They'll survive the dreaded dry shade but truly shine in rich, well-drained soil that remains moist. They'll handle occasional wet soils, too. Provide regular water for best results. Add a 3-inch layer of mulch over the root systems to keep them cool and moist. Evergold is a cool-season type of Japanese Sedge Grass that can be left up for winter interest until early spring. In warmer climates, the leathery leaves will remain evergreen. Snip a few inches of old growth off in late winter to start over fresh. They'll bounce back with spring growth.
