Golden Variegated Hakone grass is a lush and graceful ornamental grass. The cascading, hair-like foliage is broad and variegated with cream, chartreuse, and green. Illuminates dark corners and adds texture. Particularly effective planted under shrubs and small trees with contrasting foliage, such as viburnums, hydrangeas, and japanese maple.
Provide rich, well drained soil amended with compost. Full to part shade, avoiding those places that receive sun from about planting where it would receive sun from about 11am to 4 or 5 pm (the hottest time of the day). Not a low-water plant, but with good soil and protection from hot summer sun, it should thrive with weekly watering.
