Everything was good!

Followed directions for holding and planting and 2 weeks later they look great in my planter box.

Northern lights grass.

They look dead. I planted them second day after they were delivered. Followed instructions upon them delivered. Set out second day. I checked them today and the grass blades are easily pulled off. Hoping they make it. All three look like straw.

Two of the plants seem dead

One for sure is dead and it looks like one is taking its last breathe. The third one looks ok

Northern lights grass

Not sure if it’s alive or not. It seems to be, but it also looks dormant (straw color). And hasn’t grown in size since I planted it

Seeds did not grow. Wast of money

Looks dead!

They were a combination of brown and green when they arrived almost a month ago. Now they're more brown than green. I'm not sure they're going to make it!

Hi Mary,
Just emailed you! Thanks for reaching out :) Talk soon!

Arrived in great condition (as usual). Thriving even though we have been getting way too much rain in NE Ohio. The color is fantastic.

Great looking ornamental grass

The size and condition of this plant when it arrived was fantastic. It has adapted to my garden so well because of it.
