2009 Perennial of the Year!
Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola'
Grass-Ornamental
An intriguing and graceful grass is for the shade. Slender stems hold bright yellow foliage with thin green stripes. Perhaps its most fascinating attribute is the cascading habit in which most of the leaves arch in the same direction, appearing much like a golden waterfall.
Plant this grass in partial shade where it will cascade down slopes, drape over rocks, crawl over the edges of walls, at the front of the garden, or even in containers. 18 inches tall and wide
Though this grass does spread by stolens, it is a slow grower and will not rapidly overtake its neighbors. Its average size is about 18 inches. In colder climates, it will die all the way back to the ground. |
