Golden Variegated Japanese Sedge
Carex oshimensis ‘Evergold’
Golden Variegated Japanese Sedge is a classic and highly popular variegated sedge valued for its elegant, arching foliage and adaptability. Each narrow leaf has a central stripe of creamy-gold, bordered by dark green edges. This striking contrast creates a bright, refined look. Forming a neat, cascading clump, it thrives in shade and provides reliable, year-round interest with minimal demands, making it a staple for brightening borders, containers, and difficult shady spots.
