WHY TO USE ONLY HIDDEN ACRES NURSERY TISSUE

CULTURED RED FOUNTAIN GRASS

PREDICTABLE GROWTH IN COOL TEMPS AS LOW AS 40F. BECAUSE OF TISSUE CULTURE TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME OF A PLANT IT MAKE IT GROW

LIKE A SEEDLING. PLANTS ARE ALSO VIRUS FREE WHICH IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MANY OF TODAY’S GRASSES IN THE MARKET PLACE CAUSING

THEM TO GROW SLOWER

BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST

OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS NOW WE HAVE SELECTED THE BEST PLANTS OUT OF OUR GROWING FIELDS SPRING, SUMMER, FALL AND WINTER.

WE TEST EVERY LAB CLONE GROUP TO MAKE SURE IT PERFORMS TO OUR STANDARD BEFORE WE RELEASE TO OUR CUSTOMERS. THE PLANTS THAT OUR CUSTOMERS GET TODAY WE STARTED IN OUR LABS THREE YEARS EARLIER AND TESTED TWO YEARS BEFORE RELEASE TO MAKE SURE THE PERFORM FOR OUR CUSTOMERS SO THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL. THEIR SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS AND

YOUR SUCCESS.

READY FOR THE CONSUMER. SEE CHART FOR EXPECTED GROW TIMES AND PLUMING TIMES

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.

DISEASE RESISTANTANCE

IN OUR PRODUCTION HERE WE TREAT PLANTS WITH LOTS OF SILICA THAT STRENGTHENS THE CELL WALLS OF OUR MICROS. THIS MAKES THEM MORE

DISEASE RESISTANT. OUR FOUR TIMES A YEAR SELECTION PROCESS HAS HELPED US CREATE A RED FOUNTAIN GRASS THAT GROW WELL IN ALL

TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS ABOVE FREEZING.

GREAT COLOR OF FOLIAGE ANY SEASON

DUE TO OUR SELECTION PROCESS AND JUVENILITY OF OUR CLONES THE ARE COOKIE CUTTER EVERY TIME. MORE LIGHT MEANS MORE COLOR. IF

PLANTS ARE NOT RED ENOUGH JUST PUT THEM IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT FOR ABOUT 3 DAY AND THE BECOME A DEEP RED TO BURGUNDY.

PREDICTABLE PLUMING

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.
