Sweet grass

I am creating a sweet grass patch in my garden to develop the sweet grass for basket making. It arrived in great condition, cooled by the packaging. It’ll be a few years before I can use it for baskets, however, they are already of a size that I should have a little bit of a head start.

Hierochloe odorata (Sweet Grass)

Excellent!

Plants arrived in perfect condition; I wasn't able to plant for a few days, but when I did, they looked fantastic and went in easily. Two weeks later still looking great, thank you!

Hierochloe odorata (Sweet Grass)

Very Pretty Sedge

We’ve had two different orders of Carex woodii. Both arrived in good condition, ready to plant. I lost a few plants to drought over this really dry summer, but I’m pleased with these. They fit in well where I need them and I expect they’ll do fine as they expand and fill in.

I’ve bought a lot of Carex, in several varieties from Natural Communities, and they’ve all been great.

The photos are of Carex planted approximately 5 months ago in a partially shaded area. They’re filling in nicely.

Healthy plants, great service!

We planted 38 Common Arrowhead in our neighborhood pond in early June and they have doubled or tripled in size since then. Great roots, healthy plants! Amanda provided wonderful service and support. Thank you!
