The seeds will often be food for birds such as Mourning Dove, Ring-necked Pheasant and wild Turkey among others. Skipper caterpillars feed on the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is unusual in forming loose colonies of plants from long rhizomes, rather than tight tufts of leaves from short rhizomes. Additionally, this sedge will spread by seed when in the right conditions. Its vigorous root system assists in erosion control. Known for its ability to adapt to many different conditions. It tolerates drier soils and full sun better than most other sedges, but will also grow in moist soil and part shade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 1'-2'\u003cbr\u003eSpread: 1.5’-2’\u003cbr\u003eBloom: May-June\u003cbr\u003eLight: Full Sun-Dappled Shade\u003cbr\u003eWater: Low-Medium\u003cbr\u003eZone: 3-8\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Texas, central U.S.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Native Gardeners","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":48739181134064,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0467\/3113\/3093\/files\/c461a16593648742321be509e816298f98b217ce.jpg?v=1768856693","url":"https:\/\/nativegardeners.com\/products\/mead-s-sedge","provider":"Native Gardeners","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
