Hakonechloa Macra
1 Gallon Pot
(Japanese Forest Grass)
(Hokone Grass)
Zone 5
Partial Shade/Shade
The ideal grass for the shade with its graceful arching foliage that resembles a small clumping bamboo. Foliage turns colour in the fall. A nice mix with Hostas.
This green leaved form of Hakone Grass may have been overlooked while variegated and gold cultivars grabbed the spotlight. But the species offers a tranquil green often needed in landscape design. In addition, Hakonechloa macra tolerates more sun and drier soil, and it is a hardier and faster growing than most of its cultivars. It grows in a mounding, cascading shape, and spreads very slowly rhizomes.
