March 13: I ordered one plant from Dominion Seed House, variety Nicolas, $12.00. It is a slow growing grass becoming reddish orange as the weather cools in the fall. All the blades are bent one way mimicking a wave. Hardy to zone 5, but I plan on putting it right against the house and hoping it survives. It also needs steady moisture, winter mulching, and a loamy acid soil to do well.
June 3: It arrived today and I planted it.
June 17: A few stalks and leaves are still green.
July 2: Still a couple of green leaves.
