Why Grow Carex ‘Everillo’?
Brilliant Evergreen Foliage – The standout feature of ‘Everillo’ is its vivid, lime-to-gold foliage that remains eye-catching all year. It’s especially striking in shady corners, where its brightness lifts the entire composition.
Graceful, Fountain-Like Form – Arching, narrow blades form a neat, cascading mound that brings softness and movement to garden beds, containers, or underplantings.
Shade-Tolerant & Versatile – Unlike many ornamental grasses, ‘Everillo’ thrives in partial to full shade, making it a go-to choice for brightening darker garden areas where other plants may struggle.
Low-Maintenance & Evergreen – Requiring minimal care, this sedge keeps its tidy form throughout the seasons and rarely needs trimming. It’s ideal for year-round structure in low-effort gardens.
Stylish Container Plant – Perfect for patio pots, mixed containers, or paired with bold foliage and seasonal flowers, where its colour and texture provide year-round visual interest.
Planting & Care Guide
Position: Prefers partial shade to full shade but will tolerate morning sun in cooler climates. Ideal for woodland edges, shaded borders, or as an underplanting beneath trees and shrubs.
Soil: Grows best in moist, well-drained soils that are rich in organic matter. Adaptable to a variety of soil types, including clay, if drainage is adequate.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. While it’s somewhat drought-tolerant once established, regular moisture ensures the best colour and growth.
Maintenance:
-
Very low-maintenance; simply remove any damaged or tired foliage in late winter or early spring.
-
Divide clumps every few years in spring to rejuvenate and maintain a neat appearance.
-
In containers, ensure good drainage and feed lightly in spring.
Perfect Plant Combinations
Carex ‘Everillo’ pairs beautifully with shade-loving companions such as Hosta, Heuchera, and Brunnera, where its vibrant foliage contrasts against deeper greens, silvers, and purples. Use it with Ferns, Pulmonaria, or Tiarella in woodland-style plantings for a soft, naturalistic look. In containers, combine with seasonal blooms like Violas, Cyclamen, or Begonias, or pair with other evergreen textures like Ilex crenata, Skimmia, or dwarf conifers for a year-round display.
