Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Fox Sedge Grass (Carex vulpinoidea)
Fox Sedge Grass (Carex vulpinoidea) is a perennial grass species that belongs to the family Cyperaceae. It is a native grass species that can be found growing in wetlands, meadows, prairies, and other moist habitats throughout North America.
