Bowles' Golden Grass

Milium effusum Aureum

• Position: partial shade
• Soil: humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: slow growing
• Flowering period: May to July
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  A brilliant plant for a shady spot, this semi-evergreen grass gets going in early spring, and forms a rich, yellow mound which matures to a bright green. Delicate golden flowers form a haze in summer. Plant at the edge of a shady border, or in groups as part of a woodland planting scheme.
  
  
• Garden care: Divide in spring if clumps start to look tatty.
