The grass arrived timely, well packaged and ready to plant. I followed the directions, and it is thriving. Hope it can handle the Arizona summer, but it looks great now.

Looking forward to spring!
Four arrived as promised, mostly in the dormant phase with a few blades of blue green. Plants were thick and a good size. Looking forward to seeing them grow in the spring!

    The bluish color looks great next to our lavender in our rock garden. The area we planted in all sun and they handled the planting in the heat of WI summer's end. Can't wait to see them grow!

      Plant size was very small. I couldn't believe that it's 1 gallon plant. Doesn't look as the one on the picture.

      Box came on time and was packaged nicely. Plant root and bucket were wrapped in plastic wrap to retain moisture and then wrapped in burlap to help with shipping. I purchased a few of these plants at the same time as others, and these just appear to be be withered and not like the picture. I am hoping that once the roots take it will grow and spread, but at this point I am not overly optimistic. If things change, I will come back and update my review. The other plants I ordered and received are in great shape and doing well.

          Arrived not alive
          Really disappointed to receive plants that had maybe 10% live grass, if that. Late spring early summer grasses shouldn't be shipped dormant (dead). I'll look elsewhere for this beauty next time.

            After my landscaper tore out my existing fescue I couldn't find one in any local garden centers because it is already the end of the summer. I took a chance ordering from Online Orchards through Home Depot and received an excellent, healthy plant. I would not hesitate to order from them again.

                Everything looks good
                I have purchased 6 blue fescue plants that arrived in good condition. Looking forward to watching them grow. As soon as I can plant themselves if needed i will order 6 more. As a matter of fact all plants ordered on line this summer from Home Depot and Online Orchards have arrive3d in better shape than other on line sellers.

                  GARBAGE PLANTS DO NOT BUY
                  THIS WAS THE WORST PLANT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT IN MY LIFETIME DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT EVER BUY THIS. I HAVE PURCHASED 6 PLANTS (VERY EXPENSIVE) AND ALL 6 HAVE DIED! WHAT GARBAGE THESE PLANTS ARE. HOME DEPOT SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR SELLING SUCH TRASH!

                    Blue Fescus
                    I was disappointed in the size of the product upon arrival. It is a lot smaller than what you would find at the store. I did plant all three and they appear to be doing well so far.

                      These shipped from OR to IL and took about 4 days. They were still moist and healthy. They are smaller but they match the description provided. Can’t wait to see what they look like next year. :)

                      Small and very poor condition
                      The plants were not only small, but half of the grass blades were dead. They've been in the ground for 4 weeks and although feed and watered almost no new growth is visible. For the cost, they are terrible specimens of the plant.

                        The product delivered does not look anything like the picture. It may grow out to look like that, but I was quite disappointed with the delivered product.
