"Charming" is the only word for this Japanese species, and it's one of the few Grasses that thrive in partial shade. The leaves grow long and tapering, their background cream, the edges a delicious green suffused with bronze. They wave gracefully in the slightest breeze, but the arching flow of the leaves also gives a sense of movement. Use in a container, in a rock garden, or as a showy ground cover in partial shade and evenly moist, slightly acid soil. The flowers are inconspicuous. Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' was awarded the Perennial Plant of the Year® by the Perennial Plant Association.
Grows 18" tall. Part Shade to Shade.
