Hakonechloa Macra Aureola. This compact growing grass has broad leaves on slender stems so it looks a bit like a miniature bamboo. The leaves are of gold and green variegation which makes in a standout in any garden design and the looks great as an accent edging plant for the sunny border garden but still works in many other designs too. The flowers are interesting up close but from a distance are not particularly showy so best used in flowering arranging to enjoy them. Herbaceous. Full sun to part shade. 40cm by 60cm.
