cmurphy007 In the right foreground is green Japanese Maple, on left, Hakonae grass, fern, on right variegated hosta. The ground cover between stones my be baby's tears..hard to tell from photo. The orange flowering perennial is asiatic lily. All shade or dappled light lovers.

Glenna Partridge Garden Design The grass is Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold'. (Common name - Japanese Forest Grass) There is also another nice variety if you want green and gold in the grass blades and that one is Hakonechloa macra ‘Aureola’. I hope this helps.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
10. Make a small space feel bigger. Repeated patches of chartreuse bring a sense of brightness to this narrow garden, which might otherwise have felt cramped. Plants with variegated leaves, fine texture and broad forms help liven up the setting, and the orange lily provides good contrast.
