Golden Japanese Forest Grass - Hakonechloa aureola - Shade Lover - 4" Pot

A truly elegant grass with arching, golden blades that are striped with green. Unlike most other grasses, it's at its best in partial shade, where it forms a compact, flowing mound that provides the perfect contrast in texture and color for hostas and ferns. In cool weather, the gold may be suffused with pink and red tints. Grows 18" tall and 14" wide. Zones 5-9 Hakon is a region in Japan and chloa is the Greek word for grass. The Royal Horticultural Society gave it an Award of Garden Merit. It was also the Perennial Plant of the Year in 2009.
