Description
Yellowfruit Sedge (Carex annectens), also known as Small Yellow Fox Sedge, brings understated beauty and ecological value to your garden. Native to most of the U.S., this graceful sedge adds quiet elegance while playing a vital role in supporting local wildlife—making it a great choice for nature enthusiasts and restoration projects alike.
Yellowfruit Sedge typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall with upright stems that rise above the narrow leaves. Its clusters of green flowers may not be flashy, but they offer important habitat and food for insects, birds, and other wildlife. This perennial sedge fits beautifully into rain gardens, naturalized borders, and restoration sites.
Though it most often occurs in wetlands, Carex annectens can also thrive in non-wetland areas. It prefers full sun to light shade and adapts to a wide range of moisture conditions, making it versatile across different landscape types.
