Plant Profile: Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola'

Aureola is a striking variety of Hakone grass, characterized by its yellow leaves adorned with a slender green stripe along the edges. In partially shaded environments, the yellow hues of the foliage are more pronounced, while in deeper shade, the variegation shifts to a lime green. This grass exhibits a graceful cascading growth habit, with most leaves arching in a uniform direction, resembling a golden waterfall. It creates a stunning visual effect when draping over slopes, rocks, or the edges of containers.

For optimal growth, Hakone grass thrives in rich, consistently moist, and well-drained soil. Inconsistent moisture levels can lead to leaf scorching during hot weather.
