Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola'
Choose Aureola Japanese Forest Grass for a shaded bed that needs bright foliage without shrub height; the tradeoff is patience, because it fills in slowly and will not screen or anchor a large sunny border.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The gold-striped foliage gives shaded beds clear definition without needing flowers. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It is not the grass to pick when you need a planting to fill fast. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established in the right moisture, it mainly needs old foliage cleaned up before new growth pushes. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother ornamental grasses; the bladed foliage is not a favorite, though hungry deer may nip tender new growth. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its tidy clumping habit works well near walks, steps, patios, and smaller foundation beds. |
| Screening Value | F | This is a foliage accent, not a privacy or structure plant. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for shade where customers want foliage color close to the front of the bed, not as a filler for big empty areas.
| Mature Height | 1 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 1.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9a |
| Spacing | 1.5 ft |
| Sun | Part Shade to Shade |
| Moisture | Average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Mounding, arching, cascading |

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
