Brown Fox Sedge (Carex vulpinoidea) is a vigorous native sedge that thrives in wet soils and brings seasonal texture and movement to rain gardens, wet meadows, and low-lying spots. This 32-plant pack is ideal for gardeners looking to stabilize soil, manage runoff, and support wildlife in moist areas.
The plant gets its name from its distinctive seed heads, which spiral like foxtails atop upright stems, transitioning from yellow to rich brown as the season progresses. It forms dense, fountain-like clumps of narrow green foliage, which may temporarily flatten in midsummer heat but reliably bounces back in fall, maintaining structure through the growing season.
Common in wetlands and along streambanks in the wild, Brown Fox Sedge is a great native alternative to ornamental grasses in wet spots, offering both beauty and ecological function.
Why Choose a Tray of Brown Fox Sedge?
Plant Brown Fox Sedge in full sun to part shade with consistently moist soil, and enjoy a durable, attractive native sedge that supports both form and function.
