Species of flowering plant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carex oshimensis, the Japanese sedge (a name it shares with Carex morrowii), is a species of flowering plant in the genus Carex, native to Japan.[2] With its striped foliage, it is widely used as a non‑spreading ground cover. Its cultivar 'Evergold' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3] Growing to 50 cm (20 in) tall and broad, it has a broad yellow stripe down the centre of each leaf. It is an easy subject for moist soils in sun or partial shade.[3]
