{"product_id":"field-oval-sedge-carex-molesta","title":"Field Oval Sedge (Carex molesta)","description":"\u003cp\u003eField Oval Sedge, also known as Troublesome Sedge, is a hardy and adaptable species that excels in the transition zones between wet and dry environments. This clump-forming sedge typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall, featuring clean, green foliage and small, oval-shaped seed spikes that transition from green to a rich brown by mid-summer. Native to meadows, prairies, and open woodlands across the central and eastern United States, it is particularly well-suited for seasonally wet areas that may dry out during the summer months. It is often found in calcareous soils and disturbed sites, demonstrating its resilience. Field Oval Sedge provides a reliable source of seeds for songbirds and essential cover for insects within prairie ecosystems. Its extreme versatility allows it to perform well in full sun to partial shade and adapt to soil moisture levels ranging from medium-wet to dry, making it a dependable choice for diverse and challenging planting sites.\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 Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-Wet to 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 32 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-molesta\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Field Oval Sedge\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926639644869,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/CARMOL_wholeplant.jpg?v=1793742879","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/field-oval-sedge-carex-molesta","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
