Beautiful Fountain Grasses

"I purchased 5 of these beautiful grasses, and they are surely going to be my new favorite fountain grass in my collection of grasses I have in my landscaping. They arrived very healthy with plumes already started, and I was able to stretch them even further by diving 3 of them into 2 halves right out of the nursery pot. I'm really looking forward to having the repetition of these in my gardens."
