Firefox Sedge Grass

Carex buchananii ‘Firefox’ is a fine-textured, clump-forming sedge with narrow copper-bronze leaves that curl at the tips. Its evergreen foliage adds color and movement through the cool season, making it useful in a sunny border or a container where the upright blades can be seen up close. ## Foliage and size Ebert’s Greenhouse lists this exact selection at 18–24 inches tall and 12–16 inches wide, with hardiness in zones 5–9; its profile describes clumping, copper-bronze foliage and curled leaf tips ([cultivar profile](https://www.ebertsgreenhouse.com/Plant-Name/Carex-buchananii-Firefox-Sedge)). The current numeric dimensions, 0.6 m tall and 0.4 m wide, are close to the upper part of those ranges. The height label should reflect the full cited range. ## Siting Provide full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. A nursery listing notes the foliage is evergreen and identifies the plant for borders and mass planting. ## Maintenance This cool-season sedge can be tidied in late winter or early spring. Remove brown or damaged leaves selectively, leaving healthy foliage in place; divide clumps only when they become crowded.
