Yellow and gold striped, not unlike 'Evergold' but with improved form and vigour. Bred by Fitzgerald Nurseries who works with mutations of Carex 'Evergold'. Useful in the border, near a water feature, in mass plantings, and in containers! Though recommended for average to moist sites this species is tolerant of dry shade. Evergreen.
