$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' is a stunning ornamental grass celebrated for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage with thin green stripes and graceful, cascading form. This deciduous grass emerges in spring with fresh color that deepens throughout the season, transforming into shades of orange, gold, and red in the fall before going dormant for winter. 'Aureola' forms a dense mound that works beautifully as ground cover or in containers, adding movement to shaded areas. Its low-maintenance nature, combined with its pest and disease resistance, makes it an excellent choice for brightening up garden corners.
