Common Name:
Japanese Sedge.
Description:
An attractive grass with bright yellow variegations. Forms a tidy clump or arching foliage.
Flower:
Small creamy seed heads poke above the crown.
Size:
40cm x 50cm
Growing Conditions:
Best if planted in a moist and shady position but will grow in the sun as well.
Care:
Like all grasses they benefit from the occasional tidy up. Pull or rake out the dead leaves to keep a tidy appearance. Every few years you may want to cut them back quite hard and encourage fresh new growth.
Uses:
· Colourful under-planting for shady areas.
· Works well in containers, adding colour and texture.
Comment:
This grass would work very well with a range of other shade lovers. The bright colours of the leafy Hostas and the ferny foliage of Astible would be perfect compliments to the colour and form of ‘Evergold’.
