Description
The collection consists of:
- x 1 Carex oshimensis Everillo, with lemon or lime yellow foliage, more or less light in colour depending on the exposure
- x 1 Carex oshimensis Evergold with green leaves highlighted by a wide cream-yellow stripe.
- x 1 Carex oshimensis Everest, a slightly ruffled, bright, ribbon-like foliage with green-blue colouration, with white-cream margins depending on the exposure.
Individually labelled.
Carex oshimensis belongs to the family Cyperaceae. Its descendants from the EverColor® series have been developed in Ireland for over 25 years and were awarded at the Plantarium in Boskoop (Netherlands) in 2013. These varieties come from a very hardy Japanese botanical species. The Oshima sedge is a small herbaceous plant with short rhizomes that forms a clump with a compact, light, upright and gracefully trailing habit, reaching approximately 30-40cm (12-16in) in all directions. It does not sucker, but increases in size year after year. Its linear, thin leaves which remain evergreen throughout winter measure up to 30-35cm (12-14in) in length. Their edges are tapered and their tips trailing. In autumn, short brown spikes of 1 to 3cm (1in) appear among the foliage, carried by thin stems measuring 15cm (6in) in height. Note that this Oshima sedge is very long-lived, it will grow for many years in the garden.
Plant these refined Evercolor grasses with their elegant foliage and clean style, they will form beautiful bouquets of gracefully overflowing foliage in pots. Their wonderful appearance does not require the presence of other plants by their side, but, on the other hand, the Carex will complement their neighboring plants and bring a lot of lightness to the lush foliage of rodgersia, for example. Their texture contrasts with that of fern fronds, their flexibility complements the roundness of heuchera leaves and highlights the beauty of hellebores. As the Oshima sedge prefers moist to wet soils, it will naturally find its place in water gardens, on banks or at the edge of a pond, where it will help stabilize the soil. Place it along the edges of perennial beds. For a beautiful wild effect, plant it en masse in a contemporary or countryside garden.

Planting and care
Carex oshimensis Evercolor adapts to all types of soil, as long as they are moist but well-drained. It tolerates periods of moderate drought well. This makes it an easy-to-grow and successful grass. It is also a plant that can adapt to all exposures, but its foliage will be brighter in partial shade or dappled sunlight. Water abundantly at planting, which should be done outside of freezing periods. Avoid heavy fertilizer applications. Remove damaged foliage during the growing season and prune the clump in late winter, just before the start of growth.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
