Hakonechloa macra
Aureola brings a soft flowing grace to a shade garden. The Golden
Japanese Forest Grass can light up a shaded part of the landscape.
Hakonechloa macra Aureola grows to 18" in a slowly spreading
clump. Hakonechloa macra Aureola requires a moderate amount of
water, less than a lawn but more than some of the more drought hardy
perennials that I usually work with. The Golden Japanese Forest
Grass will look best with an annual Winter haircut. I cut them
nearly to the ground. Hakonechloa macra Aureola is Winter
hardy to zone 4, maybe 3 with help, regardless far colder than we can find
here in California.
