Evergold Sedge is a small, grass-like plant that forms clumps of arching and mounding foliage. The slender leaves are about 12 inches long, with a bold golden-yellow stripe down the center. It is evergreen, and makes a bright, low-maintenance ground-cover beneath trees and larger shrubs, and a great filler for planters and container gardening. Flowering is insignificant, and most growth takes place in spring, fall and through winter in warm zones.
- Beautiful carpet of bright green and gold leaves
- Evergreen foliage is slender and mounding
- Grows well in partial and full shade
- Drought resistant
- Low-maintenance groundcover
The Evergold Sedge grows well in partial or full shade. It is evergreen even in zone 5, and thrives in most parts of the country, tolerating heat and humidity well. It grows in most soils, and although it prefers richer, damp soil, it is one of the most drought tolerant of all the sedges and survives dry summers well. Pests or diseases are normally no problem, and deer leave it alone. An annual trimming in late winter keeps it looking perfect all year round.
