Carex buchananii ‘Fox Red’ is a cool-season sedge with fine, upright to arching blades in rich shades of reddish-bronze to copper. Reaching 18 to 24 inches tall and wide, it creates a fountain-like form that moves beautifully in the breeze. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Fox Red Sedge adds soft contrast and warm hues to containers, woodland edges, rain gardens, or naturalistic plantings, especially when mixed with cool blues and greens.
