This award-winning deciduous perennial grass forms elegant, mounded clumps of arching foliage that resemble a golden fountain. Its narrow leaves are strikingly variegated with bright yellow and thin green stripes, often developing pink or reddish tints as temperatures cool in autumn. Thriving in partial shade and moist, humus-rich soil, it is an exceptional choice for woodland gardens, containers, or as a lush groundcover that adds movement and light to darker landscape areas.
