Product Details
Carex muehlenbergii, Sand Bracted Sedge, is a simple plant. Its erect culm stands two to three feet tall. Much like other sedges, the stem is three-sided and hairless. The glabrous triangle stem is a light green color. Atop is where the fruit cluster is located usually ranging anywhere from a half to a full inch in height. Carex muehlenbergii prefers full sun and dry, even sandy soils in areas like sand dunes, upland sand prairies, rocky woodlands, and areas along railroads and fields.
The seeds of upland sedges, like Carex muehlenbergii, are a food source for the Greater Prairie Chicken, Ring-Necked Pheasant, Wild Turkey, Horned Lark, and the Snow Bunting. The Prairie Vole also feeds on the foliage and seeds of such sedges.
