    Positive Experience!

    Posted by Steven Lutz on May 29, 2023

    Ordered several "Little Bunny Dwarf Fountain Grasses" from Plant Addicts as I was unable to procure them from my local garden center. Each plant arrived via overnight UPS in separate boxes. They were well packed and very healthy! Also notable -- I emailed them some questions after the order was placed and they got back right back to me with the information I needed quickly and courteously. I would definitely use them again!

    Received 2 nice plants and one runt. Since they are going in the same area I would have preferred that they all be alike. They did come nicely packaged and on time so that was good

    growing in some pots

    I wanted a small grass to be able to grow in a small pot. Bought 6 of these to make a small border along my sidewalk. It turned out pretty cool!
