$9.75
Cultivar of native woodland grass, emerges very quickly in the spring (cool season grass). Golden-yellow foliage from spring to early summer (stays longer in cooler areas).
A bit natural look, loose grass flowers in May-June, but otherwise striking addition to half shade or mid shade garden - goes very well with hosta, epimedium, ferns and spring bulbs.
Award of Garden Merit by RHS (Royal Horticultural Society in Britain).
Fairly long-lived (about 10 years), doesn't look like heavy seeder. So far this selection has proven to handle heat and humidity really well. Tolerant to black walnut.
Blooming Time: late May to June
Size: mounds usually 2-2.5' tall x 1.5-2' wide
USDA Zones: 5 to 8
Culture: half shade or dappled shade, up to deeper shade. Adaptable to many soil types, tolerates various pH, but prefers richer soils that hold moisture (loam, clay, sandy-loam). Likes moisture, but can't be planted in wet or waterlogged soils.
Moisture Needs: medium-moist, moist, average
Origin: this cultivar has to come from Europe, since it is known for a while and is not common in American gardens. But Millium effusum is native in northern-temperate regions of the whole northern hemisphere. See the distribution of the species on BONAP map. Naturally occurs in rich woods, river banks, moist bases of slopes etc.
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: most likely yes / most likely yes (depending on the pressure)
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: no / no
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: square 3.5" pot x 4" deep perennial pot
Plant combinations : It's fast grower in the spring (the center leaves actually stay semi- to evergreen), so this is very useful to combine it with late sprouting shade perennials like ferns, Hosta, Tricyrtis etc. Meets with many commons spring bulbs (excellent with Grape Hyacinths) and ephemerals. It can moderately seed around, but never aggressively.
Best in half-shade areas and beds, woodland edges, woodland gardens, best as accent plant or in small groups.
Other good companions Anemone hupehensis (japonica), Aquilegia, Asarum, woodland Aster (Aster divaricatus etc.), Brunnera, Chelone lyonii, Dicentra, Disporum, Epimedium, Gallium odoratum, some common hardy Geraniums, Helleborus, Heuchera and Heucherella, Geum, Lysimachia, Mellittis, Mukdenia, Nepeta subsessillis, Penstemon digitalis and calycosus (and hybrids), Phlox (x carolina and interspecific hybrids, Phlox divaricata, Phlox stolonifera, Phlox bifida), Podophyllum (better non spreading ones), Polemonium, Polygonatum, Primula, Pulmonaria, Sedum ternatum, Spigelia, Stachys officinalis hybrids, Stylophorum, Tiarella, Tricyrtis, Uvularia, Viola or Waldsteinia.
