PLEASE NOTE: Plants shipped in winter and early spring may arrive dormant. Deciduous perennials lose their leaves or foliage during winter and may appear "lifeless", but will burst out with new growth in spring!

Leatherleaf Sedge Firefox (Carex buchananii 'Firefox') is grown for its coppery-bronze foliage that persists throughout much of the growing season. Its upright habit makes it a perfect fit for rock gardens and tight places in the landscape that could use a dose of earthy color. Leatherleaf Sedge 'Firefox' looks great on its own as a specimen or container plant, but shines when contrasted next to the deep greens of broadleaf shrubs like Boxwoods or purple leaved varieties such as Barberry's and Heuchera.

Shipping Methods

Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.

Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).

We are sticklers about packaging and shipping your order in a way that guarantees healthy plants upon arrival. If plants are damaged on arrival, just let us know and we'll send you new ones or offer a full refund.

All of our plants are container grown and shipped with the soil and roots fully intact. We DO NOT ship your plants bare-root. Being shipped as a containered plant greatly reduces the risk of the plant not surviving the transit to your home.

Happy

Everything arrive in great shape. Leather sedge Firefox is healthy and looks to have taken well to planting in rocks around pond area.

Best quality sedges

By far the sedges sent by The Greenhouse exceeded the quality and beauty of my local plant nursery. Firefox sedges are the focal point of my deer infested front garden.

Super healthy, excellent quality plants

I have ordered from multiple nurseries online and The Greenhouse is by far the best. The plants arrived all the way from Oregon to Georgia expertly packed, and in perfect condition. They have all been transplanted and are healthy and thriving. Super impressed!

Climate

My plants are hanging on for dear life in this hot climate. It was not clear on the site of the plants were drought resistant or not. In the future, that would be helpful to note if the plants are drought tolerant or not.

Hi Jeremy,
I just sent you an email. We do put drought tolerant on our plants that are under their characteristics. Unfortunately the leatherleaf is not drought tolerant and has average watering needs. Especially as it gets established it will need soil checks and regular watering. :)

Leatherleaf Sedge 'Firefox'

I LOVE this ornamental grass, arrived well-packed, accurate plant size and healthy. It's been 2 weeks and the Leatherleaf is doing great in our (7a) climate zone, even with some overnight lows below freezing. I ordered 6 and have kept all of them in pots on our covered front porch - my goal is to plant them in the ground late Feb/early March. For now, these grasses are adding great interest to my porch; with flowers out of season, it's nice to have the lovely copper color of this sedge. I will likely order more, and would highly recommend.
