Nancy,
My Hakonechola macra 'Aureola' grows in dense shade on a slope under Doug
Fir trees that suck the soil dry. It increases vigorously enough that I can
dig and divide it every 3 years. It is truly beautiful where it has
something to cascade over - such as rocks, a stone wall or in a large pot.
It is spendy, but worth every penny for the way it lights up dark places.

The April issue of Horticulture has a picture of Hakonechloa macra '
Aureola' in the article about perennials with gold foliage, and I am
intrigued by the photograph.
Anyone have any experience with this plant? I'm thinking I'd like to plant
a kind of undulating swath of it through a rather dry shady bed. Would it
grow in these conditions? Does it stay where it's planted enough to use it
as a design element in that fashion? (Of course, I haven't checked prices
yet, so that plan may be a bit extravagant!) This is really kind of a
boring bed, and I think that might jazz it up a little...
