All Gold Japanese Forest Grass is a fantastic deer resistant perennial to brighten gardens and container plantings. Feathery spikes of chartreuse foliage emerge in mid-spring, and shift to tawny tones in autumn. Showcase their gentle mounding habit and beautiful texture by planting on a slight slope, in the front of a bed to soften edges, or beneath shrubs or trees. (Hakonechloa macra)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
All Gold Japanese Forest Grass combines the beauty of mounding forest grass with bright golden-chartreuse color to create a highly sought-after perennial grass for both shady and sunny gardens. Moisture is the key with Japanese Forest Grass. This beautiful, texture-rich grass thrives in moisture retentive soils. Don’t overwater, but ensure that they are kept moist, particularly if sited in a full sun location. For best results, protection from hot afternoon rays is preferred. Slow growing, but very much worth the wait. Tolerates planting beneath Black Walnut trees. Mulch covering is recommended for overwintering.
