🌿 A Bit of History & Meaning

Carex, or sedge, has been used in gardens for generations to soften edges and add natural movement. The ‘Everillo’ variety is especially known for its bright golden-green color and tidy mounding shape—symbolizing renewal, hope, and quiet strength. It’s the kind of plant that reminds us to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy the small, beautiful moments.

🌞 Where It Grows Best

This low-maintenance grass loves part shade to full shade, making it ideal for those tricky spots under trees, around porches, or in woodland-inspired beds. It grows to about 12–18 inches tall and wide, forming neat, elegant clumps that glow beautifully even in lower light.

🌱 Care Instructions

• Water: Keep moist during establishment; drought-tolerant once settled

• Sunlight: Best color in part shade, but tolerates full shade

• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil but very adaptable

• Maintenance: Virtually carefree—trim back in late winter if needed

• Evergreen: Holds its color through most winters in the South

Perfect for gardeners who want low-fuss, high-style plants that look good year-round, ‘Everillo’ brings grace and brightness to any space.
