Carex morrowii Everglow 5 Litre Pot

Carex morrowii ‘Everglow’

A Glowing Evergreen Sedge with Year-Round Appeal

Carex morrowii ‘Everglow’ is a beautifully variegated, compact sedge offering glowing colour in every season. Its fine, arching blades are green edged with creamy margins that blush warm orange and copper in cooler months, giving it a softly luminous quality that stands out in any planting scheme.

Perfect for adding texture, colour, and contrast to shaded or partially shaded areas, ‘Everglow’ works beautifully in borders, containers, woodland edges, or underplanting for trees and shrubs. This low-maintenance, evergreen grass is especially valued for its winter interest and neat form, providing a reliable structure through the colder months.
