General Information:
Likes a moist humusy soil, and good drainage. This grass offers great highlights for the shady garden. The shade tolerant plant has few problems with disease or insects and is also deer resistant.

Plant Care:
Since golden hakone grass is a slow grower, it will not be necessary to divide for many years. If division is desired it should be done in the spring as new growth develops.
