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.

zone info for purple fountain grass

20 years ago

Please provide data on the success factor of purple fountain grass coming back up in the spring. I researched it for my area (upper zone 7) but now wish to have some input for my friend in North Carolina which is a bit warmer. Tag said hardy to 10 degress. How truthful is this? I did see some spreads about it not being hardy in Zone 8.

Can I get some feedback, it would be great if those in NC could respond.
