Hakonechloa macra (Japanese Forest Grass)
A graceful little grass that – unusually – likes heavy soil and a bit of shade. Plant it under your trees. Very green but going orangey red in autumn to brown in winter. 2ft x 2ft. Please contact us for stock availability and size.
Hardiness level Green
The name gives away its preferred position - Forest Grass. Best in shade. It's elegant, well behaved and hardy and an unusual ground cover to grow under trees and raised shrubs. The leaves are bamboo like and the flower spikes are unostentatious and reminiscent of Luzula - the European Woodrush that enjoys similar conditions.
Propagated by division.
