Everest
This elegant ornamental grass provides an interesting ground cover or patio pot option particularly for courtyard and
patio areas.
Everest’s refreshing green/white striped foliage and low growing cascading habit makes it an easy match to co-plant
with other varieties. When used as a groundcover plant every 30 to 45cm apart for a beautiful foliage vista. Everest is
also ideal as a border to hard areas, for under planting around trees, or in large patio pots where the natural cascading
habit is accentuated.
Everest is a very hardy variety and tolerates dry and saturated conditions. On site testing has provided excellent
results across a huge climatic area from Cairns with tropical seasons to Hobart and across to Perth.
Everest is from the new Evercolour Carex series. As the name suggests the Evercolour varieties provide year round
colour - in both sun and shade!

VARIETY SPECIFICATION SHEET – Carex, Dianella, Lomandra
Climate Zones
Over the past years Australia has experienced some extreme weather from droughts to significant rainfall. The
climatic tolerances of a variety must therefore be measured not just according to temperature extremes, but
also by seasonal rainfall patterns. The adjacent map shows four major climate zones for the Australian
continent. Zones 2 and 4 have wet summers while Zones 1 and 3 have wet winters.
To assist in variety selection, please review the Specification Sheet above which nominates the recommended
climate zone for each variety.
