Carex hachijoensis ‘Evergold’ is a striking perennial grass with an evergreen striped yellow-gold foliage.
Evergold is a cool-season grass, which means that most of the growth happens in the spring before the summer arrives.
This is similar behavior to many drought-optimized plants, some of which will even go into a period of dormancy in the summer to protect their resources.
Even though Carexs can withstand moderate periods of drought, a cool soil is preferable.
TIPS: She will look her very best out of the direct winds and scorching sun, allowing for her to show off her architectural form.
Maybe in a flower bed among other flowers, peeking out of a rock garden or in a garden box if your window is in an alcove.
INTERIOR TIPS: Carex hachijoensis ‘Evergold’ is a magnificent potted plant, requiring little maintenance and delivering patterns and elegance in return.
Nota bene: Do not prune a Carex. Ever. They risk almost certain death.
The Tales:
The most interesting thing about the Carex family is their ability to withstand both drought AND occasional flooding.
They are used in bio-swales in many urban areas for this very reason.
What is a bio-swale? I’m glad you asked!
Bio-swales are essentially intentional, planted ditches – like the space between the street and the sidewalk.
When there is too much rain, the sewer systems become overwhelmed by the runoff and the streets end up flooding.
By implementing bio-swales (and using plants such as the Carex family), some of the stormwater can be absorbed before the sewer systems are overwhelmed.
AND, the bio-swales can help pollutants from accumulating downstream by absorbing and filtering them “at the source.”
