Hakonechloa 'All Gold'
Brighten shaded areas with the splendid Hakonechloa 'All Gold', an upright, vigorous cultivar known for its exquisite foliage. This Golden Hakone Grass grows slowly into a magnificent clump, offering gleaming yellow tones that are brighter than other varieties. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and performs well even in dense shade, though its color is most vibrant in partial sun. Tiny russet-brown flower spikes appear from late summer into early fall. Reaching about 14 inches high and 18 inches wide, this grass is unpalatable to deer, making it an excellent choice for woodland or open settings in USDA Zones 5-9.
