SunFlare Japanese forest grass

Chartreuse to golden leaves develop scattered crimson highlights, especially as plants mature. The cascading foliage gains orange and burgundy tones in fall, making this compact grass a changing accent for woodland borders and containers. Give it gentle light and moist, well-drained soil rather than a hot, dry position.
