How to use Everillo Evercolor® Sedge in the landscape?
When incorporating the Evercolor® Carex Sedge into your landscape, not only are they perfect for in-ground planting but they also look stunning in containers or window-boxes. They compliment well with many other grass species or flowers! Be careful - they might just take away the spot light with their gorgeous greens! Our grass will be sure to add some texture to your garden! When growing, the growth is largely centered around the middle of the sedge so as the grass grows longer, more texture and dimension will be added. These grasses will look good edging out a whimsical path, decorating a backyard pond, or simply just filling out that extra space!

How To Plant Everillo Evercolor® Sedge
Our Carex Sedge grasses are overall fairly low maintenance, but there's nothing wrong with showing your plant a little extra love. They are tolerant of moist to dry and do best in well-drained soil as they dislike being waterlogged. Good drainage is very important when it comes to your Sedge grasses. Carex grasses can be quite modest with the sun. Too much sun can cause sun damage so it is important to make sure your grass has a shot of relaxing in the shade.
How To Water
When it comes to watering, Sedge grasses aren't too picky! After their first planting they will be quite thirsty so watering regularly will be important during establishment. Once your plant has settled, you can move into a weekly watering schedule. Keep your grass evenly moist; may be moist-dry but not bone dry.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant Food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. If planting in the fall, use Elements fertilizer while planting and start your regular annual fertilizing the following fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established as it gives your tree the nutrients it needs to produce lush new growth for the following spring.
How To Prune
Sedge's hardly ever require pruning, if pruning is desperately needed; wait till the frost season. Grass will take a while to regrow anything that has been previously pruned.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box!

Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
