Caring for Carex oshimensis 'Everillo' is straightforward, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance ornamental grass. Follow these essential maintenance tips to keep your 'Everillo' thriving:

• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the grass to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and insulate the roots.
• Dividing: Divide overcrowded clumps every 2-3 years in early spring to rejuvenate the plant and maintain vigor.
• Pruning: Trim back any damaged or unsightly foliage in early spring to encourage fresh growth. Cut back to the base of the plant using clean, sharp pruners.
