Carex oshimensis Everest, 2L
The reliable, clump forming Japanese sedge, Carex Everest, bears arching, dark green foliage, striped with white, which looks most effective when positioned in some shade. Slowly spreading, the grass-like sedge produces insignificant brown flowers in summer and works well both in the border or as a specimen in a pot on the terrace.
