NEW!—Another fabulous EverColor® sedge from Irish plantsman, Pat FitzGerald. This series has produced award-winning best sellers, and this C. morrowii cultivar looks to continue that streak. A Gold Medal winner at Plantarium 2018, ‘Everglow’ offers a fantastic color combo. Crisp, green foliage sports creamy white margins in spring and summer. The edges develop an orange tint in fall and winter, which gives it a warm, overall glow. It arose from a self-crossing of C. morrowii ‘Fisher’s Form’ in 2015. The foliage resembles long-time favorite, C. morrowii ‘Ice Dance’ with a color bonus! It stays in a neat, upright, easily controlled mound and does not run like ‘Ice Dance’.
‘Everglow’ is evergreen wherever it’s hardy and has an upright, attractive shape that is fantastic in containers and color plantings. It also makes a stylish ground cover in part-sun to shady conditions. The breeder lists it as hardy to −13° F (−25° C), which would be Zone 5b. Because we don’t split zones, we’ll keep it as Zone 6 for now.
