Carex oshimensis 'Evercream' is a beautifully variegated evergreen sedge that brings year-round colour and texture to any garden setting. This compact, mound-forming perennial produces graceful, arching foliage with striking creamy-white margins and a rich green central stripe, creating a bright, fresh display even through the cooler months.
'Evercream' is a versatile and low-maintenance plant, well suited to borders, containers, ground cover schemes and woodland-style planting. Its neat, clump-forming habit makes it an excellent choice for edging paths, softening hard landscaping or adding interest to mixed perennial displays. It thrives in partial shade but will also tolerate sunnier positions provided the soil retains some moisture.
Supplied as a well-established plant in a 2 litre pot, ready for planting straight into the garden or into a decorative container.
