Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' (Ornamental Grass)

Hakonechloa macra ‘Aureola’ — Japanese Forest Grass

Brighten shady garden spaces with the graceful, cascading foliage of ‘Aureola’. Arching yellow leaves striped with green form soft, flowing mounds that add movement and texture throughout the season. In the cooler days of autumn, the golden foliage becomes infused with shades of pink and red. People in milder climates will be able to enjoy the buff color of this grass all winter. In colder climates, it will die all the way back to the ground.

This slow-growing ornamental grass is especially useful along shaded borders, woodland paths, slopes, and in containers. Its luminous foliage pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, heuchera, and other shade-loving perennials.
