"Charming" is the only word for the Japanese species Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola', and it's one of the few Ornamental Grasses that thrive in partial shade. The leaves grow long and tapering, their background cream, the edges a delicious green suffused with bronze. They wave gracefully in the slightest breeze, but the arching flow of the leaves also gives a sense of movement.
Use in a container, in a rock garden, or as a showy ground cover in partial shade and evenly moist, slightly acid soil. The flowers are inconspicuous. Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' was awarded the Perennial Plant of the Year® by the Perennial Plant Association.
This grass dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
