Plains Oval Sedge – Carex brevior

There are no more available from the grower when sold out, sorry.

Also called Short-beaked Sedge.

Features: Petite of stature, this cool-weather mounding sedge tolerates a range of light and soil conditions and is both rabbit and deer resistant. Its modest height and light and soil versatility makes it a great candidate for a parkway prairie patch or any other area that is calling out for more — or some — ornamental sedge. The attractive seed heads are favored by the Northern Cardinal, Mourning Doves and a variety of Sparrows.

Light: Full sun to shade

Soil: Medium-wet to dry

Height: 2 feet
