The Carex oshimensis or Oshima Sedge is an elegant ornamental grass, perfect for adding texture and color to your flower beds and borders. Its evergreen foliage forms compact clumps. In our range, we offer a wide variety of brightly variegated leaves.
'Evergold', charms with its long, slender leaves marked by a broad creamy-yellow central stripe. It is ideal for brightening up shady corners of your garden. 'Everest' forms a slightly tousled, luminous clump with ribbon-like green-blue foliage more or less marginate with creamy white. This variety is highly prized in white gardens. As for 'Everillo', it offers lemon-green foliage that brightens up dark garden corners and maintains vibrant color throughout the year.
Carex oshimensis adapts to a wide range of soils, though it prefers fresh, well-drained soil. It tolerates shade well but can also grow in full sun, provided the soil remains moist.
This plant fits perfectly into various garden styles. In rock gardens, it adds a touch of greenery and structures compositions. Along flower bed borders, it creates clean lines and adds contrast. Pair it with Heucheras for a play on textures and colors or with Hostas and ferns for a lush woodland effect. In pots, it provides long-lasting decoration for terraces and balconies.
