What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the All Gold Japanese Forest Grass for its stunning aesthetic impact, noting its vibrant chartreuse color creates a luminous focal point in shaded areas. Reviewers value its mature performance, highlighting its reliable deer resistance and ability to thrive in moist, shady conditions. While the long-term reward is considered a magnificent, low maintenance golden accent, the primary point of friction involves the small size upon arrival and the slow initial growth period. Many feel patience is required during establishment. Despite initial concerns about value due to the small starting size, the consensus is that the quality and eventual visual payoff make this premium perennial highly recommended and worth the investment for elevated garden design.
