Milium effusum 'Aureum', known as Bowles' Golden Grass or Golden Wood Millet, is a deciduous, clump-forming grass celebrated for its brilliant golden-yellow foliage in spring, which matures to lime-green by summer. It thrives in partial to full shade and moist, humus-rich soils, making it an excellent choice for brightening woodland gardens, shaded borders, or underplanting shrubs. In early summer, it bears delicate, open panicles of tiny flowers. This grass naturalizes gently in favorable conditions.
