SUSTAINABLE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT COST OF HEATING GREENHOUSES IS EXPENSIVE AND ADDS TO YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT. YOU CAN FINISH RED FOUNTAIN GRASS TC IN TEMPS AS LOW AS 40F. HOUSES DO NEED TO GET TO 75F AND THE MORE LIGHT THE BETTER. PLANTS GROW FASTER THE HOTTER IT GETS AS YOU KNOW. BEFORE RED FOUNTAIN TC, YOU NEEDED AT LEAST 65F NIGHT TIME TEMP TO GET THEM TO EVEN GROW AND THEY WERE SLOW AT BEST. YOU MUST HAVE TC TO HAVE THEM DO THAT. OUR TC GRASS AFTER THEY REACH MATURITY WILL NO LONGER GROW IN COOL TEMPS IF DIVIDED. YOU MUST START WITH TC EVERY SPRING OR THEY WILL NOT PERFORM AS WELL AS YOU WILL COME TO EXPECT.

PRICING AND FREIGHT WHEN WE CAME TO THE MARKET IN 2006, RED FOUNTAIN GRASS WAS TYPICALLY SOLD IN A 72 CELL. THIS GRASS WOULD NOT START TO GROW UNTIL NIGHT TIME TEMPS GOT TO 65F AND COOL TEMPS BROUGHT ON ROOT ROT PROBLEMS AND COLD BROUGHT DEAD LEAVES. LINERS WE PACKED 2 TO 3 TRAYS TO A 22X12X12 BOX. TODAY WE OFFER A 288/280 THAT PACKS 4 TRAYS OR 1120 PLANTS TO THAT SAME BOX AND OUR 22X12X16 PACKS 6 TRAYS OR 1680 OF THE 288/280 PER BOX. THESE PLNTS ALSO GROW 2 TO 3 TIMES FASTER THAT OLD DIVISION STOCK. THE GROWER TODAY USUALLY PAYS LESS THAT.40 FOR THE PLANTS LANDED TO THEIR DOOR AND ARE FRESH AND READY TO GROW. ONE DRAW BACK IS WE ONLY GUARENTEE OUR PLANTS IF THE ARE SHIPPED 2 DAYS OR LESS. IN OUR TESTING, WE FOUND THAT DAY THREE CAN CAUSE A 5% TO 10% DECLINE AND PLANTS LOSE VIGOR. AS YOU KNOW, ONCE A CLAIM STARTS, NO ONE MAKES ANY MONEY. WE ALSO HAVE A WINTER PACK WITH 48 HOUR HANDWARMERS THAT AS LONG AS ROADS ARE OPEN WE CAN SHIP AT TEMPS 10F AND ABOVE.
