    'Naomi' is a selection of 'Aureola' with foliage that develops red tint earlier and to a much greater degree than 'Aureola'. Foliage will emerge gold in spring and begin developing red tint through summer, continuing to intensify all the way to fall. More red will develop in brighter sun conditions.

    Discovered in a French trial garden, this recently introduced Hakone Grass is distinctive for its smaller stature and unique foliar blend of fall hues. The pendent, creamy white and yellow-green blades, which sport irregular green bands, appear similar to 'Aureola' during the spring and summer months. Once the weather cools, some of the foliage transmutes deep reddish purple colors, while many leaves retain their bright variegation, crafting an exceptional multitoned spectacle. (pp#19,897)
