Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola', commonly known as Japanese Forest Grass, is a graceful, clump-forming ornamental grass that brings movement, texture, and vibrant color to shady garden spaces. Its arching, bamboo-like leaves are boldly striped in golden yellow with green margins, creating a luminous effect, especially in low light. In cooler months, the foliage may take on pink or reddish hues, adding seasonal interest.

This compact perennial typically reaches 30–45 cm in height and spreads slowly to form mounded drifts that soften edges and complement neighboring plants. It thrives in part shade to full shade, making it perfect for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or underplanting shrubs and trees. It prefers moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil, though it is tolerant of a range of conditions once established, as long as it’s not too dry or exposed to harsh sun.

‘Aureola’ is particularly effective when planted in groups or used as a foliage contrast alongside hostas, ferns, or heucheras. Its low maintenance, non-invasive nature, and year-round appeal make it a reliable and stylish choice for both modern and traditional garden designs.
