My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hakonechloa grass in my zone?

17 years ago

I've always seen this grass recommended for shady areas. They have the variegated one at the local Extra Foods this week. Is anyone in zone 2 or 3 successfully growing it? I really want it, but I'm trying to be sensible, lol.
