One More (Small) All Gold Grass Planted in Back - June 2026

I planted three All Gold Hakonehloa Macra Grasses from the Morton Arboretum Plant Sale last month where I filled in a couple of spots in the long border of existing All Gold grasses in the backyard.  I was at Home Depot and saw on their racks something familiar recently:  they were selling All Gold Japanese Forest Grasses.  $13 for a one-gallon container.  That's $7 cheaper per plant than at the Morton Sale.  But...see below.  It is about half-way filled with grass.  (It appears that these were divided this year/late last year) and didn't fill-out the container just yet.  And, they couldn't even be bothered to fill out the rest of the nursery pot with potting mix.  

Never-the-less...I bought one.  Just one.  (I know....I broke one of my own rules.)

I decided to plant it at the closest edge of the row (closest to our house) and planted it far enough away from the edge to allow for some groundcover to sneak in there, too.  See below - to see how it is about a 'half' grass compared to the existing grass in the center of the photo.  The third (from the left) is a Morton grass, so it is MUCH more vigorous (at this point).  

Note:  I'm posting this in mid-June, but this planting happened back in May.  ('Tis the season to have too many things to post, hence the 'later-post'.)

Another note:  I didn't mulch this bed this year - and you can tell.
