About This Product

This bright gold grass perfectly fills spaces in need of a splash of vibrant color and elegant stature. 'All Gold' Japanese Forest Grass has a gorgeous, mounding form that trails along groundcover. The narrow leaves change from sunny-golden to a warm red in autumn, providing a textured twist on fall color. The foliage is best described as bamboo-like and graceful, with a distinct, papery texture that's a joy to see and feel. All Gold Japanese Forest Grass, botanical name Hakonechloa macra All Gold, is best suited to USDA zones 4-9 and reaches a height of around 12 in., with a spread of 18 in. to 24 in. The foliage is a bright golden-yellow in summer and reddish in autumn, with tiny, chartreuse flowers. All Gold Japanese Forest Grass has a more upright, mounding tendency than other varieties, adding to the drama of gracefully cascading leaves and bamboo-like texture. The foliage is a warm, glowing accent from spring to autumn.

Yes, it is a one-gallon plant. Some customers have commented that the plants they received were smaller than expected. While the photos might depict smaller plants, they are shipped in one-gallon containers. The product description mentions that the plant is "shipped at a height between 6 in. and 18 in."

Happily confused- is this supposed to be an evergreen grass? I purchased these here & from a local nursery, but they look totally different. The nursery's are deciduous and have fallen dormant. These are still gorgeous! I wish I purchased all from here.
ByDec 11, 2023
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Japanese Forest Grass, including the 'All Gold' variety, is not an evergreen grass. It's a deciduous perennial, meaning it goes dormant in the fall and winter, losing its foliage. The fact that yours from a local nursery have gone dormant while the ones you purchased from us still look good suggests they might be at different stages of dormancy due to various factors like microclimates, specific cultivar variations, or even just the individual plant's health and growing conditions.

        I ordered 4 of these plants. They arrived practically dead. I’m busy, and don’t have the time for returns. So I’m out $26.33 plus tax x4plants.

        Unfortunately, most of the plant leaves were broken, and 2 of the 3 were brown (still trying to nurse them back to health) I needed up throwing 1 away.

        This arrived nearly dead with brown leaves. I babied it for a few weeks until it had a couple of new leaves. However, when I unpotted it from the gallon container to plant, I noticed that it had no root system and the pot was filled with just dirt indicating it had been transplanted recently from a much smaller container. Bait and switch?

        10 one gallon plants shipped in one box - the box was thrashed, but the plants were in pretty good condition - small-ish but well wrapped and alive! We don’t see any of these in landscaping in our area of TN, so we are anxiously waiting to see if they flourish in our red clay filled soil.

          Love the color!
          I have been pleased with all of the plants i bought from Home Depot. The "All Gold" Japanese Forest Grasses were healthy, but took a little too long to get here, so had lost multiple leaves when they arrived.

            We’ll See!
            We’ll see because there was not much to see due to dormancy. Will take another photo later in the season. The HD app to add an image may not show
