Outsidepride Chinese Pennisetum Fountain Ornamental Grass Seeds - 100 Pcs Perennial, Drought Tolerant Fountain Grass with Smoky Purple-Black Plumes for Low Maintenance Xeriscapes & Flower Arrangements

I could not find any Fountain Grass in any of the local nurseries. So I choose to start from seed. I have used Outsidepride seeds before and was happy with the results. Once these arrived, I sowed about 3 seeds in each potting cell, total 10 cells. Not all germinated, But that was expected. I only want few plants, so I will just keep re-sowing until I get the plants I want. They do grow slow for grass. Time will tell

Seeds did not take

Nothing sprouted, even though there are many different plants in the yard. Most likely, the seeds were dead.

I started the seeds in April and I just now have plants popping up. Not all germinated but that’s too be expected. Right now over half germinated.

Growning good still early but lots of hope.

The seeds sprouted very quickly and I have potted them up with 5-6 seedlings in a gallon pot. Superb germination rate!

Do not recommend.

Ordered these seeds and divided them up into seed starting pots indoors to discover that the package was short 4 seeds. They sprouted quickly which was great, but 25 seeds didn't sprout at all. Sure, that's the nature of seeds but my odds of plants were dropping rapidly. They grew to about 4-6" when I decided to plant them. They haven't grown since. They're still green, they're still alive but eh, stopped, gave up. No idea why they're not getting any taller. Zone 5, FYI. So, I doubt I'm going to end up with gloriously large grasses. These seem a fail almost all around. Keeping hope alive but not by much. Won't buy this brand of seed again.
