Its clumping rather than spreading growth habit to 18 inches tall and 18 inches wide make Everest Carex the perfect choice for a border along paths and walkways, for splashes of color in groupings, or in stunning mass plantings in home foundation plantings, landscape borders or on embankments and slopes. It is also effective as an underplanting for shade trees and smaller trees such as Japanese maples. Very nice as a solo in containers or to provide grassy texture and color in combination container gardens. A fine addition to ornamental gras gardens, rock gardens, shade gardens and tropical look gardens.  

This Carex is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and part sun, preferably morning sun with afternoon shade. Avoid direct afternoon sun. Almost maintenance free and slowly forms a clump by spreading roots but is not invasive at all. We rarely fertilize or prune it. In areas that experience colder winters the foliage may need to be groomed or cut back to the ground before new growth emerges in spring.
