Hello Neighbors, There are two bags of miscanthus grass and one of iris (light blue) in front of my house. If you plant them at dusk and give a good watering and then continue to water everyday for a week, all the plants should be fine. Another trick is to cut down the grass to about a foot so the plants energy goes into the roots. Fertilize after about 2 weeks with a good organic fertilizer. You can also cut the iris leaves down to about 6 inches. Irises have rhizomes and they need to be planted just barely under the soil. 915 Farragut Street Thank you, Joan -- Joan Soulliere Sent from my mobile phone.
