Like fiber optics in the garden! Quietly the stems grow, forming tiny flowers which then give way to the seeds and "explode" into a wondrous, shimmery panicle of marvel! Not a fussy plant, this ornamental grass is great in the garden or container to complement colorful blooms, but is most fabulous as a cut-flower bouquet filler. Excellent for drying as well.

Review for Frosted Explosion Grass Seeds

Jan 16, 2021

No success in Houston, TX. Started seeds in 4" pots and emerged good in a few weeks in October. Transferred to outside garden and wilted back. Maybe too wet at area of garden, or ....bugs. Will not re-order.

Owner Response: Hi Brett, A few of your reviews indicate seedlings died once they were transplanted. There may be a few things you can do to help seedlings transition outdoors successfully. Harding off is very important for acclimating seedlings to outdoor conditions where sunlight and temperature swings are much harsher. This transition period ensures seedlings adjust and are not stressed or subjected to sunburn or other damage. You have also mentioned that conditions may have been too wet. Planting into a raised bed or mound helps soil drain better and adding organic material also helps soil improve drainage. Seeds contain energy and genetic material to grow a seedling to the point that it can make its own food through photosynthesis using soil nutrients, water, and sunlight. When we experience issues after seeds have germinated we look to environmental issues that are unfavorable. Please don't hesitate to contact us for help troubleshooting growing issues.
