It is notoriously difficult to germinate this seed. After years of trying even we do not have a suggested germination treatment for Carex pensylvanica. The plant reproduces in nature more often by underground rhizomes than by seed. To get a solid stand of this sedge that so many desire, we recommend buying a few plants to divide over the years. It will spread between 3"-8" each year depending on the soil moisture of the site.
