Description

All Gold Japanese Forest Grass (Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold') is an elegant ornamental grass prized for its brilliant golden-yellow foliage and graceful, cascading habit. Its slender, arching leaves form soft, flowing mounds that brighten shaded gardens throughout the growing season. The golden color becomes especially vibrant with gentle morning sunlight, while excessive afternoon sun may scorch the foliage. In cooler weather, the leaves develop warm golden tones before winter dormancy. This slow-spreading perennial is perfect for woodland gardens, shaded borders, pathways, and decorative containers, adding beautiful texture and movement to the landscape.
