This plant's real name sounds like it affects the respiratory system in humans, but it does not! Pronounced - hah-koe-neh-KLOE-uh. Hakonechloa 'All Gold' is a beautiful shade loving grass! The common names, which are easier to pronounce, include Japanese Forest Grass and Hakone Grass. This grass screams "LOOK AT ME", when planted in the shade due to it's bright yellow foliage! Forming a beautiful clump in the shade, this plant spreads slowly by stolons - which is a specialized type of root. As this plant grows, it will eventually reach anywhere from 12" - 18" in height. Pair this plant with dark foliage, for a fantastic contrast of colors! If you're looking for a grass that does great in the shade try Hakonechloa!
