Aureola Japanese Forest Grass Starter Plant – Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola'

Aureola Japanese Forest Grass (Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola') is an elegant ornamental grass prized for its cascading habit and striking golden-yellow foliage accented with green striping. This shade-tolerant perennial is widely used in woodland gardens, borders, pathways, container plantings, and Japanese-inspired landscapes.

Its graceful arching foliage creates movement and texture in the garden, making it a popular choice for adding color contrast and softening landscape edges. Aureola Japanese Forest Grass performs especially well in shaded or partially shaded areas where many ornamental grasses struggle.
