Grass Fountain Lumen Gold

Lumen Gold™ Fountain Grass

Fountain Grass ‘Lumen Gold’ is a striking ornamental variety treasured for its vivid chartreuse-to-golden foliage and naturally elegant form. With its arching, fountain-like habit and fine, flowing blades, this grass adds movement, texture, and brightness to any landscape. Its luminous color stands out beautifully against darker greens, purples, and earth tones, making it an excellent choice for borders, mixed beds, and container plantings. As the plant matures, the foliage deepens slightly in tone, offering a season-long show of warm, glowing hues.

This sun-loving grass is valued not only for its beauty but also for its low-maintenance nature. Lumen Gold remains compact and tidy, requiring minimal care while continuing to provide structure and contrast throughout the year. In summer, soft seed heads may emerge above the foliage, adding extra charm without overwhelming the plant’s clean shape. Whether used as a focal point, a mass planting, or an accent in modern garden designs, Fountain Grass ‘Lumen Gold’ brings color, resilience, and effortless elegance to outdoor spaces.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in full sun for the best golden coloration. Space 18–24 inches apart. Choose well-drained soil to prevent root issues.

Watering:
Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, water moderately; drought tolerant but prefers occasional deep watering.

Pruning:
Cut back to a few inches above the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

Pest Control:
Generally pest-free. Watch for fungal issues in poorly drained soil. Ensure good air circulation to prevent disease.

Soil Tips:
Prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soil. Avoid heavy clay. Do not over-fertilize, lean soils help maintain color and form.
