Any ideas or suggestion would be highly appreciated. I am in Northern Va. The spot where I planted my JM receives morning sun.out th

Also wanted to know about the yellow foliage falsecyress, which variety retains its yellow color in the winter and can I plant it as a border plant and does well to heavy pruning .

Thanks,
Shaila

I have Liriope with a new Tamuke yama and the Liriope is growing WAY faster than the JM so I may be changing that...

It states the 'Hakonechloa Macra Aureola' is good for mostly sunny- full shade. You said your JM gets morning sun, that would be perfect.
