Love Carex !!! like hostas, huecheras, coleus - they add color to a garden without bloom which is great for shady spots where blooms are hard to find in summer !!! :)
I started planting some Everillo about 2 years ago. I used them in a garden that was relandscaped. They are great plants that stay through the winter in 7a.
LOVE these plants!!! Such a beautiful texture! I have several of the white and green that are huge and fluffy. Gorgeous! I have several of the gold too. Great pop in the shade. I plan to get more. Can’t always easily find them. I have also split them and they do well.
I love the Everillo, it's my favorite carex, it's a great plant and it multiplies readily, I have made a dozen plants from the original two plants that I purchased about four years ago. I love the texture and color.
I have everest based on a video of yours a ways back where they were in containers. In a small shaded bed on the N side of my house that gets less than an hour of sun a day, they are actually a foundation plant alternating with some winter gem boxwoods that are pruned pretty small... and I'm really happy with the combo.
Everillo is my favorite! 💚 😅I got up this morning and went to a local nursery, IN THE RAIN, to buy a few Everillo. At least I watch your channel before going to sleep. By morning, I am sure of my purchase. No impulse buying. That’s my reasoning anyway.
I love these. I have everillo around my patio. But be warned, rabbits love them to. I've had a few of mine eaten to the ground. They recovered but they were ugly for a good while.
I love Everest. But I ended up getting Feather Falls from Plant Delights. Feather Falls is refreshing, with a crisply variegated bright green and white leaf. Jim! Thanks for introducing so many of us to Carex. Such a tough, beautiful, useful plant. I am using mine around the edge of an east-facing daylily bed. The carex masks the spend daylily foliage in the fall.
I like Everest the best, but they all look fantastic. I’d be happy to have any of them. Thank you for inspiring me on what to plant in a really difficult area of of my garden!
Love them all!! I have had only ever I’ll and man it’s a big happy mound especially pops in winter when nothing else!! Hope to find all of these at garden center pensacola fl.. I love the Everest then ever glow!! So easy do nothing to them!!! Thanks so much!
Eversheen looks amazing! I had one last year with white variegation (prob Everest) which stayed fresh/beautiful thru the winter (zone 6b Arid west), but sadly didn't last thru our brutal hot summer, sigh. I was gonna write them off entirely, but now you've got me wanting to try again 💚🤞
Everest is carex is a fantastic plant. 100% deer proof and evergreen in my zone 7a shady landscape areas. I’ve got several New Zealand carex varieties (rust/copper/red coloration) on a dry, full sun slope. They are doing beautifully, also.
Everillo is my favorite. I have some in my landscape and love how it contrasts with other plants and brightens a shady area. I think now I need to find some Everest to plant by some Remote Wood ferns in a woodland garden.
I agree with you that Everillo and Eversheen are very striking together! Love the Everest and Everglow for places where you'd be seeing them up close. Despite myself, I think Everillo is my favorite....I've shunned lime green/chartreuse plants but the Florida sunshine illicium finally made me a fan and now I want them all. I think that grasses are going to be one of the next trends in the landscape, as people see there is something beyond pampas. (Also think that there's going to be a demand for more fragrant plants!) P.S. The music during the intro is my most favorite of all the ones you use!
I'm doing a white garden under a river birch in my front yard with Shi Shi Gashira white camellias, a Jubilation gardenia, some Autumn Ivory encore azaleas, some Holly ferns, a Little Honey oak leaf hydrangea, some Ever White Agapanthus (when I can find them) and have ordered a mix of white caladiums for spring planting. I've had my eye on the Everest variety to fill in some spaces for their texture. Hoping that some extra irrigation with some drip tubing will keep everything well watered especially during the very hot summer months here in zone 8b. River birches are water hogs.
These are beautiful plants. But I find it interesting that you like Carex but are tepid about Liriope muscari, when they’re used in similar situations in the garden. I’m curious why that is, or if I missed the mark.
I'll be searching for Everillo and Eversheen. I have liriope that's similar to Everest and really like it! Love that the carex is zoned 5-9 which means I can grow it in zone 6!
Jim, totally unrelated question, but I thought you would be the best person to ask…you’re kind of an expert. My father in law recently passed away. He and my husband had planted a mulberry everbearing tree when my husband was very young. I would love to plant one at our home so he can look out and remember his dad. Any idea where I could find one? I’m zone 8a just south of Raleigh, NC.
Hard to pick a favorite. They are all beautiful! I'm thinking I would choose Everillo and Eversheen. Actually I think a grouping of all of them might be interesting. Maybe placed amongst your big rocks in different elevations. Lots of color and beauty. I'd have to see it though.
I know you don’t like weed barrier fabric. Do you have tips for keeping the neighbor’s weeds & grass from growing under/through the fence into my flower beds?
I have some in my garden that looks a lot like Everest; it gets a white flower spike that I do prefer over the usual purple spike. What color is the flower stalk on the specimens in this video?
The way you're holding those Carex plants in the opening reminded me of a cheerleader 😁
😂 so funny!
Eversheen to tone down the the Everillo is definitely my favorite!
The deer munch on my liriope but have never eaten any of my Carex. Love the brightness in a shady spot.
I can never decide which is my favorite because I love them all.
Oh My I cannot choose so I will get them all!!
Love Carex !!! like hostas, huecheras, coleus - they add color to a garden without bloom which is great for shady spots where blooms are hard to find in summer !!! :)
The Everest!! Can’t wait to get my hands on some.
I started planting some Everillo about 2 years ago. I used them in a garden that was relandscaped. They are great plants that stay through the winter in 7a.
I like the Everest the best! The light color will pop in my shade beds.
LOVE these plants!!! Such a beautiful texture! I have several of the white and green that are huge and fluffy. Gorgeous! I have several of the gold too. Great pop in the shade. I plan to get more. Can’t always easily find them. I have also split them and they do well.
How long does it take to grow wide?

Jim, I think probably the two I like the best are Everillo and Everest. Both are gorgeous and seem to stand out on their own.
I already have everillo. Love it! Now I’ll look for the cousins. Thanks Jim.
The Everillo and Eversheen combo! Love it!
I have everillo in my landscape. I haven’t heard of the others but I’ll be looking! Thanks Jim
I picked up 3 Everillos from Calloways. One of my favorite Texas nurseries. 🙂
Hard to choose. Love them all. But when you put the two - Everillo and Eversheen together, man, what a statement.
I have an extensive Carex collection. Love them all!
Everillo is my favorite! 💚
😅I got up this morning and went to a local nursery, IN THE RAIN, to buy a few Everillo.
At least I watch your channel before going to sleep. By morning, I am sure of my purchase. No impulse buying. That’s my reasoning anyway.
The Everillo is by far my favorite!! I want some of that to brighten up some dark space for sure.
Everglow seems to be my favorite just from looking at the video. I'm headed to Pat's "treasure spot" this week to find some. :)
Amazing sharing.. 🌷🌷❤️❤️
I love the chartreuse color and use it all around my gardens ❤
I love these. I have everillo around my patio. But be warned, rabbits love them to. I've had a few of mine eaten to the ground. They recovered but they were ugly for a good while.

I love this grasses . Looks great in a shade garden
I like Everest the best, but they all look fantastic. I’d be happy to have any of them. Thank you for inspiring me on what to plant in a really difficult area of of my garden!
As usual your video has taught us something about a plant I. Our yard that we didn’t know much about!! Love the Everest!!
Love them all!! I have had only ever I’ll and man it’s a big happy mound especially pops in winter when nothing else!! Hope to find all of these at garden center pensacola fl.. I love the Everest then ever glow!! So easy do nothing to them!!! Thanks so much!
The Everillo and Eversheen combo looks awesome.
I planted several Everillo here in Texas and had the most beautiful container accents for all four seasons. Talk about champs!
Everillo! I bought several after being inspired by you. Thanks for all you do!
They are amazing and I want them all!!!
Eversheen looks amazing! I had one last year with white variegation (prob Everest) which stayed fresh/beautiful thru the winter (zone 6b Arid west), but sadly didn't last thru our brutal hot summer, sigh. I was gonna write them off entirely, but now you've got me wanting to try again 💚🤞
I've got everillo several places and adore it. I hadn't seen evergreen before today...it will be a "must have" for next year!
Everest is carex is a fantastic plant. 100% deer proof and evergreen in my zone 7a shady landscape areas. I’ve got several New Zealand carex varieties (rust/copper/red coloration) on a dry, full sun slope. They are doing beautifully, also.
I want Everest. I hope I can find them next spring
Everillo is my favorite!
Everillo for me! It looked as though you were going to start cheerleading with your Pom-poms in the beginning!
Everest really looks great!
Great plant! I have the everillo but the I might need to try that last one.
Everillo is my favorite. I have some in my landscape and love how it contrasts with other plants and brightens a shady area. I think now I need to find some Everest to plant by some Remote Wood ferns in a woodland garden.
Love the Everillo! Seems to glow with that chartreuse color.
Everillo is my fav - I’ve planted them & wow! I will consider the other varieties for sure. Thanks Jim!
Eversheen looks great to me. I have a lot of dry shade so I plan to add some everglow and Eversheen! Thanks for sharing
Carex great plant my go to is Everillo now that I've seen all four I need to venture out. Thanks
I have some of these already and love grasses. I will look out for Everest now as not seen that one !
Going to have to get some.
I’m in 8-A and I love all carex. In spring if they look crummy I cut them back to about 2-3 inches and they come back beautifully.
Just bought a second everillo today!
I agree with you that Everillo and Eversheen are very striking together! Love the Everest and Everglow for places where you'd be seeing them up close. Despite myself, I think Everillo is my favorite....I've shunned lime green/chartreuse plants but the Florida sunshine illicium finally made me a fan and now I want them all.

Everest is my favorite!
All are so pretty but Everillo might be my favorite. I have many of them in my garden.
I like Everillo the best. I’m always drawn to the yellow/gold foliage.
Love everillo, have a couple in my front garden and they really pop! Great videos as always! Keep up the good work. 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm doing a white garden under a river birch in my front yard with Shi Shi Gashira white camellias, a Jubilation gardenia, some Autumn Ivory encore azaleas, some Holly ferns, a Little Honey oak leaf hydrangea, some Ever White Agapanthus (when I can find them) and have ordered a mix of white caladiums for spring planting.

I love the Eversheen best but adore them all!
Eversheen then Everillo
I need to look for some next spring.
I am a sucker for chartreuse of Everillo, but some of those variegated versions are really gorgeous too! Need more carex in my life!
I have lots of evergold and everest love to get some everglow!
These are beautiful plants. But I find it interesting that you like Carex but are tepid about Liriope muscari, when they’re used in similar situations in the garden. I’m curious why that is, or if I missed the mark.
Love them all! Starting to add them to my gardens
I'll be searching for Everillo and Eversheen. I have liriope that's similar to Everest and really like it! Love that the carex is zoned 5-9 which means I can grow it in zone 6!
I like & use most of those but really want to see a big mass of Everglow. Developing a large shade bed with a friend, lots of possibilities here!
I like Everglow! Should add some carex as I have none yet. Philly PA z7.
Jim, totally unrelated question, but I thought you would be the best person to ask…you’re kind of an expert. My father in law recently passed away. He and my husband had planted a mulberry everbearing tree when my husband was very young. I would love to plant one at our home so he can look out and remember his dad. Any idea where I could find one? I’m zone 8a just south of Raleigh, NC.
Everillo! My favorite becauses I have a thing for chartreuse plants & I use varigated plants sparingly.
nice plant and all but have you thought about a native plant series highlighting them like these, would make for great content.
I like them all!!
My favorite is everillo with everest coming in second
Evereillo!!! Lichtenstein and bright!
I really like the everillo with the ever sheen. Really want to try these in a few areas. They also sound like less maintenance than liriope.
Hard to pick a favorite. They are all beautiful! I'm thinking I would choose Everillo and Eversheen. Actually I think a grouping of all of them might be interesting. Maybe placed amongst your big rocks in different elevations. Lots of color and beauty. I'd have to see it though.
These are beautiful, but I only grow native sedges that feed tons of skipper butterflies. I’m guessing these don’t feed our native insects?
I like the Everest! I think the lighter color will pop in my shade beds. Who sells it in Raleigh?
I love them all.
I know you don’t like weed barrier fabric. Do you have tips for keeping the neighbor’s weeds & grass from growing under/through the fence into my flower beds?
I have Everlime! I couldn’t find Everillo at the store :-(
I love everillo!
I love Everillo, but I’ve got quite a bit of chartreuse already. I love the idea of pairing the Eversheen with chartreuse plantings, though. 🤔
I would have to go with Everillo - the Everest looks too much like my variegated liriope which does really well in my shade garden...
I agree with Katherine as I have lots of lirope. Everest looks awesome paired with Patriot hosta.
Everest (the white goes well with aspidistra Asahi)
Everillo for me 😘👌
I have some in my garden that looks a lot like Everest; it gets a white flower spike that I do prefer over the usual purple spike. What color is the flower stalk on the specimens in this video?
I like everillo and eversheen together. Colors would pop against my white farmhouse.
Everest because it will look good with my Annabelle hydrangea.
I like whichever ones that the bunnies DON’T like... 😉
Hi Jim! I love these! Is it ok to plant them close to a drain pipe/underground gutter pipe made of plastic?
Are these related to Liriope? Similar looking to Aztec Grass, but I haven't seen these in Florida.
Everest love it
Everrest! It looks a bit more silver to me. Would you say so?
Well, dang. Now everyone is gonna buy up my Everillo😁 Love this plant but deer don’t. I garden on a hillside and I create Everillo waterfalls.
What is good Carex for full sun ? My full sun is max 28 - 30 degrees Celsiua ( 86 F) in summer. TY
Everillo, easy choice.
Question, are they deer resistant?
I wonder how Everglow would look with Kaleidoscope abelia.
All! Or should I say EverAll!
I’ve been looking for plants that will work in my shady spot.
Everest ❣️
