Features

Characteristics

Plant Needs

The Carex EverColor® ‘Everillo’ is a versatile evergreen sedge that brings brightness and texture to shady spots. Its arching leaves emerge in vivid lime tones and hold their golden color throughout the year, making it a dependable source of contrast and drama. Compact and tidy, it grows 12–18 inches tall and wide, forming a dense mound that works equally well as a groundcover, path edger, or container accent.

Why We Love It

At Creekside, we love plants that do the heavy lifting with minimal effort, and Everillo is one of our go-to shade solutions. Its chartreuse foliage lights up dim corners, plays beautifully against dark greens, and provides interest every month of the year. With its deer resistance, disease tolerance, and fuss-free nature, Everillo is a designer’s favorite for layering texture and color in both landscapes and containers.
