Evergreen sedge
Carex sempervirens
Evergreen sedge is a tough, clump-forming grass-like plant that thrives in partial shade with consistent moisture. Plant it in moist, well-draining soil and water regularly to prevent the roots from drying out completely. It requires very little maintenance and makes an excellent ground cover or border plant in cool temperate gardens.
