I rec'd the two grasses on time and they were a great size. I realize shipping is hard on plants, so I planted them immediately and have been watering every day since receiving. I also added a very small amount of milorganite. But the pictures attached show no real growth. Perhaps I've not given them enough time, about a week so far.
