Notes
'Evercream' sedge (Carex oshimensis 'Evercream') is a grass for borders, containers, rock gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It forms a clumping, evergreen mound and tolerates drought. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees and birds visit the plant.
Pairs well with Midnight Rose coral bells, Black hellebore, and Red-barked dogwood.
