Our customers and yours are especially fond of the fun EverColor® series by FitzGerald Nurseries of Kilkenny, Ireland. Pat Fitzgerald has selected some nifty variations and variegations of this versatile, sturdy genus. He describes his creations as “colorful, multifunctional, and easy.”

These well-behaved sedges form sturdy, compact, uniform mounds of glossy blades in a nifty range of easy-to-use sizes and colors. Flowers are subtle and inconspicuous. On the oshimensis types, they become interesting bristle-brush seed heads.

Hardy in Zones 6-9, EverColor® "grasses" are made for the shade but will tolerate some sun. They’re excellent, low-maintenance candidates for containers, edging, or ground cover. And they’re happiest in moist (not soggy) well-drained soil.
