How To Grow Hook Sedge From Ornamental Grass Seeds: Many gardeners grow Uncinia rubra seeds in a cold frame for protection and hardiness. Start Sedge seeds in the late winter or early spring. Sow the ornamental grass seeds in quality, well-draining seed starting mix and press the seeds into the soil. Lower temperatures of less than 41°F are very effective, then move to 68F after several weeks. Seed trays should not be discarded prematurely. Constant moisture must be maintained. Do not leave in direct sunlight. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, move into a pot and allow to grow on. Transplanting can be done in spring or summer after all frost danger has passed..
