ALL GOLD JAPANESE FOREST GRASS
Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold', often called Golden Japanese Forest Grass, is a stunning deciduous grass that acts like a shot of liquid sunshine for the shade garden. Unlike variegated varieties, 'All Gold' features solid, luminous bright lemon-yellow blades from the center to the tip. It forms a graceful, cascading mound that reaches about 9 to 12 inches tall, with a "waterfall" habit that makes it look as though it is pouring over the edges of containers or stone walls. While it grows slightly more slowly than the green species, its intense color and fine texture make it a premier choice for illuminating dark pathways or creating a glowing groundcover under tall trees.
Caring for 'All Gold' is a matter of balancing light and moisture to keep its brilliant color from scorching. It performs best in partial shade; while it needs some light to maintain its vivid yellow hue, direct, hot afternoon sun can easily burn the delicate foliage. It thrives in rich, organic, and consistently moist soil and should not be allowed to dry out completely, though it requires good drainage to prevent crown rot. Because this is a deciduous grass, it will turn a warm tan in late autumn and go dormant for the winter. Simply cut the dead blades back to the ground in late winter or early spring to make way for the fresh, neon-gold shoots to emerge.

To help Hakonechloa macra types settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in partial to full shade in rich, moisture-retentive, well-draining soil. Hakonechloa macra varieties (Japanese Forest Grass) is prized for its elegant, cascading, waterfall-like habit, making it an exceptional choice for brightening up shady woodland gardens or containers. Unlike many other grasses, Hakonechloa will scorch and lose its vibrant color if exposed to harsh, direct afternoon sun. It performs best with consistent moisture and protection from strong, drying winds. It is slow-growing and requires minimal maintenance; simply cut back the old foliage to the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
