Description

'All Gold' Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra) will glow in your shade garden with bright, golden foliage. Slender leaves arch as they grow, forming a graceful cascading mound. With ample moisture and light, leaves will stay attractive from spring through fall.

This ornamental grass requires little maintenance and is resistant to pests, diseases, and deer, making it super easy to grow! There are so many design opportunities with this golden grass. Try planting it with darker leaf heucheras, bold-leaf hostas, or foreground planting to shrubs!

Details

Botanical name: Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold'
Common name: Hakone grass, Japanese forest grass
Plant type: perennial
Zone: 5 - 9
Sun exposure: Shade (< 4 hours sun) to part-sun (4-6 hours sun)
Height x width: 12-18" X 18"
Foliage color: Chartreuse and gold
Season of interest: Spring through fall
Bloom time: Late summer, early fall
Features:Deer resistant, wet soils, space savers, rain gardens, container plants
Uses: Accent, border, container, ground cover, massing, small spaces, underplanting, waterside, woodland

How To Grow

Soil: Prefers organic-rich, well-draining soils. Avoid poorly draining soils composed of heavy clay.
Light: Shade (< 4 hours sun) to part-sun (4-6 hours sun). Full hot sun may scorch the foliage.
Water: Needs regular watering - weekly, or more often in extreme heat.
Spacing: 18 - 24 inches
Fertilizing: Hakonechloa doesn't need supplemental fertilizing in good soils, but if you do fertilize, wait until after the first blush of growth in spring.
Winterizing: In zones 5 and 6, apply a layer of extra mulch for protection.
Maintenance & pruning:  Trim back the old foliage in late fall or early spring before new growth emerges. Divide every 2 to 3 years in the spring. Older plants can be dug up and cut in half for quick propagation.

small and ill-nourished

I am extremely disappointed with the plants I received considering the price I paid for them. They appeared noticeably small and ill-nourished, lacking vitality. Fortunately, I discovered superior plants available at a slightly higher cost, but the quality is unquestionably superior.

Graceful Little Hakone

I was initially surprised how small my little Hakone was when it arrived, but it was very healthy. I planted it the next day. It's done so well, remains very robust and has already almost doubled in size in 2 months. I'm so pleased and will love seeing it grow each year. A wonderful addition to my shade garden.

Great shade grass

Had trouble finding any if these grasses in my area. I needed more to help fill some empty spots in the garden. They are slow growing so be patient. But the results are spectacular!! People comment on the gorgeous bright green color not found on any other variety of grasses. Keep moist in the heat. The packaging was perfect and the plants came in impeccable shape. Planted easily and are beautiful!

Beautiful Grass

Waited a couple of days then planted in a large pot, in the shade. It is doing great. Can't wait for it to be FULL and it's in prime.
