Growing 'Everest' Sedge

Sedges are tough and shade-tolerant, great low filler plants. Their favourite soil is both moist and well drained: banks close to water are good. They are not ideal for dry rockeries, but with help can establish in quite dry, rocky places where they have shade, shelter, and access to some depth of soil that won't dry out easily: North-facing rockeries would be their first choice.

Shear down to low mounds in early Spring to make way for new growth only when you feel it's needed: if the foliage looks brown and tattered at the tips, it's clearly time for a cut. In a sheltered location, you should not need to cut them every year.

In Your Garden Design

The stripy evergreen foliage of this handsome grass makes a bold statement at the front of the border, or displayed in a pot. Its creamy variegated leaves will brighten up a shady area, or use it to line a path.
