Growing Tips for Carex oshimensis evergreen

Carex oshimensis evergreen varieties prefer well-drained soil and partial shade, but they’re surprisingly adaptable to full sun in milder conditions.

Mulch periodically to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, and simply remove any damaged leaves in spring for a fresh look.
