Love watching these sway in the breeze
"We've been in our home for a year and a half now, and while I do plan to DIY a solid fence in the future, the backyard is currently enclosed in a black, chain-link fence. With a dog who barks at dogs, and another dog who barks at people, the open vista can lead to lots of barking at high traffic times of the day! I purchased these fountain grasses to line one side of the fence, which faces the bit of the road where people are most likely to walk past (with or without their own doggies). I wanted something that will provide some cover, so the dogs are less likely to detect passersby and get to talkin. Initially, I received a large tray of these in April of 2024. I planted them all along the fence line and waited! One of the plants was annihilated by one of my dogs - who was looking for a cool spot to lay and decided the freshly turned dirt was the way to go. Two of the plants failed to thrive, but I don't know enough to know why. It may or may not have been my fault. Ultimately, 6 of the 9 I ordered have popped up and turned into very pretty sights already! They were shipped to me as dormant, baby plants — so they basically looked like shards of hay in dirt. I planted them just as they were, according to the directions, and I've been really impressed with how much they've already grown in 6 months. I'm planning to re-plant in the missing spots, but pics will show the ones that survived. The wisps at the top have a really pretty purplish tint, and I'm very pleased with them already!"
