Carex oshimensis Evergreen - Oshima Sedge

Carex oshimensis Evergreen, also known as Oshima Sedge. It grows into a small, evergreen tuft with slightly dishevelled, dense, and ribbon-like bright green foliage. Its flowering in autumn is modest, with small greenish-brown spikes. This grass looks stunning in rockeries and borders. Over time, it covers the ground like a short grass meadow. It prefers cool to dry, fertile, but well-drained soils, in partial shade or even in the dry shade of undergrowth, with occasional watering.
 
Carex oshimensis Evergreen is a type of sedge that belongs to the Cyperaceae family. It is a small grass with a short rootstock that forms a very compact, dense, and upright tuft. It can grow up to 35 cm (13.8 in) tall and has a diameter of 30 cm (11.8 in). The leaves of this sedge are evergreen and have a grassy appearance. They can grow up to 40 cm (15.7 in) long and have tapering edges with drooping tips. They are bright spring green in colour and look very similar to a lawn. In autumn, short greenish spikes measuring 1 to 3 cm (1.2 in) appear among the foliage on thin stems measuring 15 cm (5.9 in) in height.

Oshima Everdi sedge is a small, refined herb with a minimalist style that will create a beautiful foliage bouquet on the border of a path or flowerbed. This plant brings a lot of lightness to the lush foliage of rodgersia and the feathers of ferns and pairs well with heucheras. As this grass tolerates dry shade, it naturally finds its place in the undergrowth, taking the place of adventives. It can also be planted in water gardens, on banks, or along the edge of a water feature, where it helps with stabilisation. You can plant it in mass in a contemporary or country garden for a beautiful, wild effect. This carex tolerates occasional drought well, making it an excellent choice for rockeries, cotton lavender and wormwood.
