Hakonechloa macra Aureola

Aureola Japanese Forest Grass

A highly valued ornamental grass known for its striking golden-yellow foliage, streaked with green, which becomes even more vibrant as the growing season progresses. Its leaves can scorch in full sun and dry soil, so it’s best planted in shaded or partially shaded areas. With its arching form and cascading habit, it’s an excellent choice for borders, pots, or as ground cover, adding texture and dynamic contrast to the garden. Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but well-drained to avoid excess water. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth. Trim any dead or damaged leaves in early spring to maintain a tidy appearance. While hardy, mulching around the base in winter is recommended to protect the roots from freezing in colder regions.
