    only giving this 4 stars, because I have other plants I like way more. but overall i'm very happy with my order. The grass came in very good shape. I put it in the ground right away and it did phenomenal the rest of the fall and winter. Its already starting to come up this spring, so I know it made it through the winter. and I barely had to do anything to these after watering the first couple of weeks.
