Quick Overview:

‘All Gold’ is a more compact cultivar featuring bright golden yellow leaves. It typically grows to 14″ tall and will spread over time to 18″ wide. Yellow-green flowers bloom in loose, nodding panicles (to 6″ long) in mid to late summer. Flowers have a delicate beauty on close inspection, but are not particularly showy from a distance.

Description

Best grown in humusy, consistently moist, well-drained soils in part shade. Tolerates close to full shade, particularly in the hot summer climates of the deep South.  Plant foliage will burn in full sun locations. Plant foliage will lose color intensity (particularly on variegated leaf cultivars) in full shade. Clumps spread by rhizomes, but are not considered to be invasive. Mulch in winter. Trim foliage to the ground in late winter to early spring before the new shoots emerge. Propagation is easiest by division.
