Description
Fox sedge (Carex vulpinoidea) forms grass-like clumps of long, slender, arching, bright green leaves. (To me, they look much like fountain grass [Pennisetum alopecuroides] in foliage.] The 1- to 3-foot-tall, slender flowering stems are each topped with a spiral of clustered green flowers that ripen into rusty brown seeds in early to midsummer. Native to much of North America, this handsome sedge thrives in moist- to wet-soil sites and is right at home in a moist meadow (which is where it grows here at Hayefield, in Bucks County, PA) or a wetland planting, or in a rain garden. Its foliage and seeds provide food for a variety of insects and wild birds. Full sun to light shade. Perennial; Zones 3 to 9.
Harvested in early July 2023. At least 25 seeds. PA ecotype. Shipping to US addresses only.
