{"product_id":"brown-fox-sedge-carex-vulpinoidea","title":"Brown Fox Sedge (Carex vulpinoidea)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrown Fox Sedge (Carex vulpinoidea) is one of the most popular and easy-to-grow native sedges, prized for its adaptability and charming seed heads. Reaching about one to three feet in height, it produces dense, bristly flower spikes that turn a warm brown in mid-summer, remarkably resembling a fox's tail. Its fine-textured, arching leaves form attractive clumps that stay green well into the fall. Native to nearly all of North America, this sedge is found in a vast range of habitats, from wet meadows to roadside ditches. It is incredibly versatile, thriving in full sun to partial shade and tolerating a wide spectrum of soil moistures, from wet to medium-dry. This makes it a 'fail-safe' plant for rain gardens, bioswales, or even standard garden beds with occasional moisture. It is a prolific seed producer, providing a feast for songbirds and waterfowl, and its foliage hosts many species of caterpillars. For a reliable, attractive, and ecologically beneficial sedge, Brown Fox Sedge is hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–3 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full to Partial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wet to Medium-Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jun–Jul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool-season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to 48 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/database.hokseynativeseeds.com\/species\/carex-vulpinoidea\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Brown Fox Sedge\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926584135877,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926584168645,"sku":null,"price":31.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926584201413,"sku":null,"price":61.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926584234181,"sku":null,"price":119.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/brfx_sedge3.jpg?v=1793657469","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/brown-fox-sedge-carex-vulpinoidea","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
