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, the best time to plant Japanese Forest Grass is between fall and spring. Since it is the end of October and still fall, it's an appropriate time to plant.
Yes, this product is deer resistant. It's one of its key features, making it a good choice for gardens where deer are a concern.
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."
Yes, a gallon-sized Japanese Forest Grass can be divided before planting. Dividing perennials like this can help increase your plant stock and promote healthier growth. It's generally best to divide them in spring or fall.
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.
