Japanese Forestgrass: One of the few ornamental grasses that thrives without sun.
Aureola: A big attention-grabber, its gold and yellow leaves striped with green make it a shadow brightener under trees.
Variegated Fragrant Solomon’s Seal: Named Perennial of the Year in 2013, this plant is 3-4′ tall with elegant arching stems, leaves with cream-colored edges and rows of bell-like blossoms that dangle from its stems like strings of pearls. The foliage turns golden in fall.
“Gold Splash” Wintercreeper: A bushy member of the euonymous family, its evergreen leaves are edged in gold and hold their bright coloration year round. It reaches a height and width of 18-24″ and plays a versatile role in partly sunny to sunny areas.
