Description

(Japanese Forest Grass) Hakonechloa 'All Gold' creates an appealing bright spot in the shady or woodland garden. The bamboo-like leaves are bright gold in part sun and more chartreuse in full shade. In the cooler days of autumn, the leaves have a reddish inflorescence. The gracefully arching foliage is slightly more upright than the more common Hakonechloa 'Aureola'. 'All Gold' Japanese Forest Grass prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soil in part shade. 'All Gold' looks spectacular when planted with blue-leaved hostas! In zones 5 and 6, it is best to mulch with fall leaves and trim back in the spring before the new growth emerges.
