'Eversheen' sedge (Carex oshimensis 'Eversheen') 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 up to 24 inches tall and wide, and it is drought tolerant.
