Fox Sedge

Fox Sedge (Carex vulpinoidea) is a native perennial sedge known for its graceful arching foliage and ornamental appeal. This versatile plant typically forms dense clumps of narrow, dark green leaves that gracefully arch over, creating an elegant and naturalistic effect in the landscape. In spring and summer, Fox Sedge produces inconspicuous greenish-brown flowers on slender stems, adding subtle interest to the garden. Hardy and adaptable, this sedge thrives in a variety of growing conditions, including full sun to partial shade and moist to wet soils, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, stream banks, or other areas with consistently moist conditions. With its attractive foliage, resilience, and ability to tolerate wet soils, Fox Sedge provides texture and visual interest to naturalistic landscapes and water features, making it a valuable addition to garden designs focused on sustainability and habitat enhancement.
