I am really just looking for 5-10 plants which I will try to fence in this time. I also want the regular eelgrass rather than the corkscrew or red types so it will be as hardy as possible. As a kid in the northeast, it was everywhere in streams and creeks, but I have not seen it around here in central Indiana. I am afraid that not protecting it on my last 2 attempts might have lead to my failure to establish the eelgrass. Trying to find a retail source that is adapted to the north rather than the south.
