Japanese Forest Grass - Aureola, 1 Pack
Hakonechloa macra - Aureola
A masterpiece of Japanese forest grass, ‘Aureola’ forms a cascading mound of narrow leaves striped in bright gold and green that shimmer in the breeze. In summer, inconspicuous tan flower panicles peek above the foliage, followed by a pinkish blush on the leaves in autumn before the clump dies back. This slow-spreading, non‑invasive grass thrives in part to full shade, requires consistently moist, rich, well-drained soil, and remains low-maintenance once established. Perfect for woodland gardens, containers, shaded borders, or softly edging pathways—especially where subtle movement and luminous color are desired.
