Brown Fox Sedge (Carex vulpinoidea)
Brown Fox Sedge (Carex vulpinoidea)
Carex vulpinoidea is the scientific name for a species of sedge commonly known as Brown Fox Sedge as well as American Fox-Sedge.
Brown Fox Sedge is native to much of North America, including most of Canada, the Dominican Republic, the United States and parts of Mexico.
Brown Fox Sedge enjoys wet and seasonally wet habitat, and grows easily as a roadside plant. It produces clumps of stems up to 3 feet tall.
The inflorescence is a dense, tangled cluster of many flower spikes up to about 3.9 inches long. Exceptionally tolerant of fluctuating water levels and periods of drying makes this plant an excellent addition to ditches and low lying areas.
Brown Fox Sedge is deer resistant and beneficial to birds and small mammals.

Packet quantities:
We pride ourselves on ethical, hands on, ecological management, using no mechanical or chemical methods whatsoever.
All of our native seed is hand reared, hand picked, and hand packed from native prairies under our exclusive management, never breaking chain of custody from the field until it is sent to you. Each packet is hand prepared for shipment by us, directly.
Small seed species will contain greater than 20-25 seed
Large seed species will contain greater than 10-15 seed
All packets are individually marked at the bottom of the front label with expected count, however most if not all packets will have more than the minimum count by default.
It is our mission to spread the wealth of native plant and pollinator ecological sustainability, and educate back yard gardeners as well as corporate and government entities in how to germinate, grow, and benefit from native synergies.
Thank you for your support, it is because of you, that we can grow together to do, what we do.🐛🦋🐝🐞🌾🌱🌼🧡
