The Everest Carex, from the Southern Living Plant Collection, is a fantastic groundcover grass. This variety has bright green evergreen foliage with attractive white edges. This easy-care selection proves itself as a notably low-maintenance plant with its naturally compact, clumping habit. Therefore, it requires no pruning. This Carex is hardy from USDA Zones 5-9, and is an ideal cold-hardy winter accent plant. Use it as a border, container plant, groundcover, mass planting, or as edging. Plant in partial sun to shade for best results. Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season, 3-4 times per week if planted in a container. Prefers average garden soil with good drainage. Fertilize yearly in spring with a balanced fertilizer.
