What customers say
Customers highly value the Korean Feather Reed Grass for its long term aesthetic contribution, noting its elegant upright habit and beautiful landscape movement. Once established, the grass proves exceptionally hardy and drought tolerant, making it a reliable, low maintenance selection for borders. However, initial satisfaction is often tempered by the small size of the plants upon arrival, leading to customer concern about viability. Sentiment improves significantly after the first growing season when robust growth is observed. The core theme is a contrast between initial presentation and guaranteed, high quality performance over time, suggesting a need to better align expectations regarding mail order perennial starts.
