Would buy again
"Used in an area that is drier than average. Seem to be doing well without any deer damage"
I love my prairie blues
"love my prairie blues - some critter keeps pulling them out so I have to keep a close eye on them"
Great find
"These are growing nicely but were much smaller than we expected. We were very pleased to find them. We could not find them locally."
Blue Stem
"I have used them in a grass garden around a tree. They are very pretty, especially in the fall."
Beautiful and healthy!
"Took out my entire lawn and replaced it with lovely ornamentals grasses. They are just beautiful!"
Successful plants
"Although the plants came looking small they had a full and healthy root system. I planted them in early spring and in no time they had shot up to bring beauty to my yard all summer. The color is stunning."
Elegant
"This grass is a little slow to get going, but it is really hardy and adapts to its growing conditions. I have one planted where it is wet all the time. It gets constant run off from my neighbor's lawn. I have another planted where it is fairly dry all the time. Both are doing great. They are both planted in heavy clay, amended with composted horse manure. They are two years old, and only about 2' tall and may 6"" around, but they are slowly filling out. I love the bluish-greenish-greyish color that they add to the garden. The one pictured below is in the dry area, with agastache."
Fantastic grass for the Midwest
"This grass is my absolute favorite of all the ornamental grasses I plant. I love the blue color in Summer as well as the purple Autumn tones and glistening seedheads through the Winter."
Very Nice Grass
"This was a very nice grass with a blue-green color. It has survived it's 1st year and I am hoping it will reach a mature size this summer."
very nice oramental for small spaces
"fast growing & appears just as advertised"
