Carex oshimensis 'Evergold'
Choose Evergold Sedge for shaded beds or containers where you want bright edging without a tall grass. The tradeoff: it is a small accent, not a privacy plant, and it needs steady moisture to look its best.

You need color in shade.
You want a tidy clump.
You can water during dry spells.
Skip This If

The site stays bone dry.
You want a native groundcover.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The gold-and-green foliage shows up well in shade, but its impact comes from repetition rather than size.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a useful pace for edging, though it will not cover ground as aggressively as some sedges.
Maintenance
A-
Care is simple once sited well, with the main job being cleanup of tired foliage after winter.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer rarely bother ornamental grasses; the bladed foliage is not a favorite, though hungry deer may nip tender new growth.
Small Space Fit
A
Its compact clumping habit works well along steps, paths, patios, and container edges.
Screening Value
F
This is an edging and accent plant, not a plant for blocking views.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Evergold Sedge as a front-edge plant in shade, especially where hostas or dark mulch need contrast. Keep it watered while it settles in, and do not ask it to carry a large bed alone.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it stay evergreen here?
Treat it as semi-evergreen; winter can rough up foliage in New England.
Can it take sun?
Some is fine with moisture, but hot dry sun is not the right spot.
Should I cut it back?
Trim out winter-burned foliage in spring rather than shearing it hard in fall.
Why Add Ornamental Grasses to Your Landscape?
Low Maintenance Performance: Most ornamental grasses require minimal pruning and thrive with little upkeep once established.
Movement & Texture: Flowing blades and feathery plumes create dynamic visual interest that changes with light and wind.
Four-Season Appeal: From summer greenery to fall plumes and winter structure, grasses provide year-round landscape impact.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
