Description

Looking to brighten your shady spots? EverColor® 'Everillo' Sedge does the trick, adding a pop of lime and gold color to garden beds and containers! It has flowing foliage that forms an energetic mound of foliage. It's evergreen in warmer climates, but even in colder zones, it continues to add texture through the winter. This easy-to-grow perennial is tolerant to a wide range of growing conditions! It grows best in part sun, but handles shade and some sun with ease. Though it prefers moist, well-draining soils, it can grow in dry and wet conditions too! Just make sure it doesn't stay wet for too long.

12 Low-Maintenance Ornamental Grasses For Sun or Shade

Ornamental grasses are a staple in most low-maintenance gardens because they are hardy, durable, and add beautiful color, texture, and movement to the landscape. During the winter, ornamental grasses continue to add interest, inviting birds with exposed seed heads while the dried flowers and foliage rustle in the winter winds. Here, we’ll list our favorite low-maintenance ornamental grasses for sun or shade.

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
