Carex Everillo (Carex oshimensis) is a vibrant, low-maintenance ornamental grass that instantly brightens gardens with its striking lime-green foliage and graceful form. Its an excellent choice for adding color, texture, and movement to any landscape.

Appearance: Carex Everillo features dense clumps of slender, arching leaves that display a vivid lime-green hue, creating a bright, cheerful presence. Its elegant, flowing form adds a soft, lush texture to garden beds and borders.

Foliage: This ornamental grass has fine, strap-like leaves with a vibrant color that remains bright throughout the growing season. The foliage provides a lively, textured backdrop and adds a splash of color to shaded or partially sunny areas.

Size: Typically, Carex Everillo reaches about 12-18 inches with a similar spread. Its compact, clumping habit makes it perfect for edging, ground cover, or container planting in various garden settings.

Sunlight and Soil: Carex Everillo thrives in full sun to partial shade, needing at least 4 hours of direct sunlight for optimal color and growth. It prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter and is tolerant of a range of soil types. 

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season, but avoid overwatering. Regular watering helps maintain vibrant foliage, and it benefits from increased moisture during hot, dry periods.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote vigorous growth and bright foliage. Additional feeding is typically unnecessary, but organic compost can enhance plant health.

Pruning: Trim back any dead or damaged leaves in early spring or throughout the season to keep the plant tidy. Cutting back the clumps by about one-third encourages fresh growth and maintains a neat appearance.

Landscape Uses: Carex Everillo is ideal for planting along borders, in shaded gardens, or as a ground cover in partly sunny areas. Its vivid color and flowing form add brightness, texture, and a soft, lush touch to various landscape styles.

Overall, Carex Everillo offers vibrant color, ease of care, and versatility, making it a low-maintenance yet eye-catching addition to any garden or landscape design.
