Hakonechloa Aureola Stargazer PerennialsHAKONECHLOA 'AUREOLA' PERENNIAL PLANT OF THE YEAR 2009® NOW AVAILABLE AT STARGAZER PERENNIALS!

Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola', also known as Golden Hakone Grass or Japanese Forest Grass, has been a long-time favorite of ours for its easy care and versatility in the landscape. A beautiful long-season grass whose flowing foliage can be used as a ground cover, a front-of-the-border edging plant, in mass plantings, around water features, in patio containers, and as a foliage contrast to Hostas and other shade plants. The golden foliage lights up a shade perennial border and provides a dramatic flowing texture to any perennial border. Easy to grow and love, Hakonechloa thrives in rich, moist well-drained humus soil: If you want this grass to be happy in your garden, spend some time improving your soil before planting! It can take a few years for your Hakone grass to fill in and give you the lush, mature fullness you see in garden photos, so try to purchase your Hakonechloa plants in large, mature pots. When planted en masse Golden Hakone grass waves like golden ocean waves in the slightest breeze and brightens every shady corner of the perennial border.

This year we are offering Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' in both 1 gallon and 2 gallon nursery trade containers. Spring shipping on Hakonechloa starts mid April, 2009.

PERENNIAL PLANTS FOR 2009: Stargazer Perennials Farm and Nursery is the preferred choice for hardy gardeners seeking healthy, sustainably grown pesticide-free perennial plants!

Perennial plants are wonderful, versatile garden plants that come back every year. Using perennials in your garden is an ideal way to create a colorful, flowering garden that does not need to be replanted every spring. Once established, a perennial garden will supply you with years of enjoyment and color. Perennial plants come in a limitless range of colors, sizes and textures from texture rich ornamental grasses to delightful colorful coneflowers.

Perennials tend to be cold hardy, xeric and low maintenance once established. Most perennial garden plants will die back to the ground each winter, requiring only minimal clean-up of dead foliage in the fall or early spring. When selecting perennials take into consideration bloom time, bloom color, foliage, height and sunlight requirements. In addition many perennials are also deer resistant allowing gardeners with deer problems to still have a lovely blooming carefree garden! If you have a question about which perennial to use in your garden, just drop us an email with your question. To learn how to divide perennials, read our informative garden article on Dividing Perennials.

As with all our plants and vegetable starts, our hardy perennials are grown using only green, sustainable, pesticide-free methods. To learn more about how we grow our plants and for photos of plants that we ship, visit the About Our Plants page.
