Customer Reviews
My formerly outdoor kitty ZsaZsa loves her container of wheat red winter grass so much that she no longer tries to run between my feet to the outside. I refresh the container to completely new every 4 weeks and she is happy to stay safe inside and lounge in her "yard"
I planted this as a winter cover crop in my raised beds (zone 6a). Germination has been successful and I feel a little bad terminating it for my spring planting!
Very prompt delivery and the wheat germinated quickly to a good stand.
