Use two of them flanking either side of your front door. Tuck one or more in out-of-the-way corners to create a destination spot. Add a garden bench and a special piece of garden art to complete the look.

If you are creating an Asian-style garden, place this selection next to large boulders. They'll become perfect visual partners and work together to tell an evocative tale of contrasting textures.

Plant these compact Ornamental Grasses in just about anywhere you want. It pops as a specimen, and looks gorgeous as a long row, drift, or mass planting.

For a solid row, plant them 12- 15 inches apart on center. Youll measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

To fill the bare ground, create a mass planting. Add additional rows in a zigzagging planting pattern, then add mulch between plants until they grow together. Keep new mass plantings weeded.

For a sly touch, use a single specimen as a "Thriller" in a tall, rounded pot. It will look like an oversize face with a shaggy, blonde hairdo!

#ProPlantTips for Care

All Gold Japanese Forest Grass loves a spot in the shade. Only in Zone 5 should you attempt a full-sun placement.

It appreciates humus-rich soil that is well-drained and uniformly moist. In dry soils, be sure to mulch heavily and provide supplemental water for this special variety of Hakone Grass.

Cut back foliage in early spring, removing all but a few inches of last year's growth. You'll love watching the new growth emerge from the crown. Warm-season grasses may green up later in the spring, but really shine once the hot, dry summer weather kicks in!

All Gold Japanese Forest Grass Develops into a low mound of bright color, and a fun texture. It's sure to bring a smile to your face!
