Plant Description

Carex oshim. Everest is an ornamental grass grown for the appeal of Carex oshimensis 'Everest' and green evergreen foliage. This Sedge is an excellent choice for borders, containers, woodland-style planting, patio pots and ground cover, where it brings colour, texture and seasonal interest. It performs best in sun or partial shade and rewards the right position with reliable garden performance.

Carex oshim. Everest brings texture, movement and contrast to planting schemes, where it pairs beautifully with perennials, shrubs and contemporary garden designs. Its arching habit makes it especially effective for adding shape and rhythm without overwhelming nearby plants. Reaching around 0.4m at maturity, it is best planted at the front of a border and in pots and containers with sun or partial shade. Its evergreen foliage ensures year-round presence in the garden. It is suitable for outdoor growing in most UK gardens. It performs best in clay or loam soils that remain well drained.

Supplied in a 5L pot, this size offers a practical starting point for planting out, patio displays or growing on at home.

Planting & Aftercare

Choose a pot with drainage holes slightly larger than the nursery pot. Use well-draining potting mix. Place the plant at the same depth it was in the original pot. Water thoroughly after planting.

Water when the top 2-3cm of soil feels dry. In spring and summer, this is typically once a week. Reduce watering in autumn and winter. Always check the soil before watering to avoid overwatering.

Overwatering is the most common issue. Avoid placing in direct sunlight which can scorch leaves. Don't repot too frequently - most plants prefer to be slightly root-bound. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn). Reduce or stop feeding in winter when growth naturally slows.
