    The browning of your new grass may be due to drying out during the transportation, time lag before planting two days later, or inadequate water after planting. Or if you applied a chemical fertilizer prematurely it could cause a burning.

    Water it now until muddy wet. Use a roller borrowed or rented for that purpose, or tamp it with the back of a steel rake to insure contact and merging with the underlying soil. Water it daily for a week or even two or three times a day if it's hot and dry weather.
    Give it a couple of weeks to respond. If it doesn't start to put up new green growth withing a month, start over, and don't let it dry out next time. Keep it moist and tarped during transport ad storage; preferably plant it and water it as soon as you get it home.

    There are a few ways to correct this, although the best way is prevention. This mold thrives in warm wet climates. Make sure to let the soil dry out quite a bit between watering to prevent this.

    Mixing peroxide at 1 part peroxide to 4 parts water will correct the issue when sprayed and watered into the soil.

    Neem oil can also help correct this.

    Amy I'm not sure what it is, but it appears that there is a seed formed at the base of the flower. If that is the case, maybe the seed will sprout. Otherwise it is not normal for a flower bud to sprout, you need a seed, or a stem for vegetative propagation.
    If you post again with with a photo of the entire plant, we may be able to identify it and give better advise on propagation.

    If we knew what kind of plant it is and what your specific question is we may be able to give a better answer.
    If you are looking to increase the growth rate of a 5 inch tall plant, usually soil fertility and water management is the key.
    Water it, but not too much or too little. Fertilize with a natural slow release complete fertilizer on recommendation from you local garden center for the specific plant. If it's that small and in a pot, maybe you can carry it in for a face to face (or face to flower as it may be) nursery professional opinion.

    We have not found any research that would conclude using clove oil as an insecticide causing any health concerns.

    The flower I was looking for is Torenia It may not attract the Hummers, but it is a beautiful cone shaped flower that looks very similar to Canterbury Bells. Thanks for all of the input.
    Grace and peace!

    Hummingbirds do not feel comfortable flying close to the ground. When you mention "small" plants, do you mean a hanging basket? To attract wildlife, look to plants that are native in your area. These are the plants that local fauna know are safe to consume.
