They are an excellent ground cover layer and there are species for every conceivable light and moisture condition. Some of them also make good lawn alternatives. They can be planted under trees, shrubs, and taller herbaceous layers, acting as living mulch, retaining moisture and suppressing weeds and looking good doing it. They offer top notch habitat for wildlife, providing shelter and food for birds, small mammals, and invertebrates, and acting as larval hosts for numerous species. Their fibrous root systems are good at holding banks, slopes, and edges. For the most part they are deer and rabbit resistant. And last but not least, they provide structural backbone - variations in texture, color, and rhythm - to your ornamental beds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrairie Moon 3\" pots, grown on at Honey Petal Plants\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits: \u003c\/strong\u003eIst image courtesy of Prairie Moon Nursery; 2nd image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey Petal Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53006909047091,"sku":null,"price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/6115\/8195\/files\/Unknown_80404282-db23-40ba-aae8-4cd90f1da552.jpg?v=1769784627","url":"https:\/\/honeypetalplants.com\/products\/carex-vulpinoidea-fox-sedge","provider":"Honey Petal Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
