@Verdun the Hordeum Jubatum I bought from WCN are not looking to happy. They look like they might have died but could be just dormant ??

 

Hiya Lucius
Firstly, nice grasses esp calamagrostis varieties .....lovely in mid summer

Secondly, is there no new growth on hordeum? When you received them were they green or have they deteriorated? Are they outdoors? My own...seed sown ones...are green but small and indoors.
If you have doubts, contact West Country Nurseries and just mention your doubts about them. At least then they will know from the start. Your grasses should have some new growth soon if not right now so I would give them a couple of weeks

Hordeum J. is a grass best grown from seed.....they germinate fast, grow fast and catch up with anything pot grown
