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.

    Those are actually ‘Fairy Tails’ Pennisetum... and we agree, absolutely gorgeous!

    Thank you!! It seems I would stare at it - and I never tire... :-)
    *Now: need to google to find out wether it's easy to sow or even hardy here!* Have a great weekend!

    Let us know if you have any other questions - we'd be happy to help! What zone do you live in?

    ..oh! I live in Scandinavia! :-)
    - the southern parts of Sweden to be a bit more precise.
    I think we deal with a US hardiness zone of .. 7B? Or something close to that.. so I think maybe these are maybe possible with shelter. But thank you!

    :-)
