{"product_id":"aureola-japanese-forest-grass-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Aureola Japanese Forest Grass - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eAureola is the classic golden Japanese forest grass, with nearly all-yellow leaves finely striped in green. Its most charming trait is how the blades all arch the same way, so a planting looks like a golden waterfall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows 12 to 24 inches tall and slowly spreads, perfect for draping over rocks and wall edges, softening paths or filling containers. In fall the gold picks up pink and red tints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft, bamboo-like leaves about ½ inch wide and 8 to 10 inches long are mostly golden yellow with thin green stripes, especially toward the edges. The blades arch and all lean in one direction from slender stems, forming a low, cascading mound 12 to 24 inches tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. In deep shade the yellow turns lime green, and in fall the leaves blush pink and red. Tiny airy flower sprays appear in late summer but are barely noticeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAureola wants shade and even moisture, so plant it in a shaded bed or along a woodland walk rather than with lavender in the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in part to full shade in rich, moist but well-drained soil; part shade gives the best yellow. Hardy in zones 5 to 9. Cut back dead foliage in early spring; it spreads slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hakonechloa macra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Insignificant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden yellow with thin green stripes, pink-red in fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, cascading mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–24 in tall × 24–36 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
