Discover the vibrant beauty of All Gold a stunning Japanese Forest Grass with bright yellow foliage that adds a sunny touch to any garden. Watch as its colors transform through the seasons, culminating in warm autumn hues before winter dormancy. |
Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold' is a stunning, bright yellow-foliaged cultivar of the native Japanese Forest Grass. Like the species, it forms a gracefully arching, fountain-like mound of slender leaf blades, but with a vibrant, eye-catching color. The foliage of 'All Gold' emerges in spring as a brilliant, luminous yellow. As the season progresses, the leaves may develop subtle green striations or hints of gold, but the overall appearance remains a warm, sunny hue. In fall, the leaf color can deepen to shades of orange and red before the plant goes dormant for winter. Growing 12-18 inches tall and wide, this compact Hakonechloa cultivar thrives in partial to full shade, preferring moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Its cascading habit makes it an excellent choice for edging, spilling over walls or containers, and softening the edges of shaded borders. The vibrant golden foliage of Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold' provides a striking visual contrast to the greens and blues of surrounding shade plants. It pairs beautifully with ferns, hostas, heucheras, and other woodland perennials. Its brilliant color and graceful habit also make it a superb focal point or specimen plant in shaded garden areas. Whether planted in the ground or in containers, 'All Gold' Japanese Forest Grass brings a touch of sunny, lush elegance to shaded landscape settings. Its exceptional color and versatility make it a sought-after ornamental grass for many gardeners.
