Give this Japanese shade grass plenty of morning sun, but afternoon shade for best performance. In habit it does not have quite the arching habit of other cultivars, looking a bit spiky. Ultimate height will be about knee high, the color is a gleaming metallic gold. If you can not find a spot in your shade garden consider the plant for container use. Place with anything big and blue. hosta leaves for instance. I have mine with native gingers on a rocky ledge in the center of the garden. From full five pint containers. From 2 liter container
