Carex Oshimensis 'Everest', a particularly unusual Japanese Sedge with narrow, arching, glossy, dark green leaves embellished with fine silvery-white borders, offers year-round color. One of the most beautiful ornamental grasses for the garden, this highly decorative evergreen sedge is prized for its breathtaking appeal. It creates a nice contrast with other plants, mulch, and gravel. The 'Everest' plant makes a wonderful ground cover or container plant because it is simple to cultivate, low care, robust, cold-hardy, and has a compact clumping habit.
