Hakonechloa macra

also known as Japanese Forest Grass is a graceful, cascading, clump-forming plant prized for its delicate, eye catching foliage. With its soft, flowing blades, it’s an ideal choice for planting along pathways, at the base of trees or in containers, where its vibrant texture can be admired up close.

Widely used in Japanese gardens for its elegance and serene beauty, Hakonechloa thrives in semi-shade to full shade, creating a lush, calming ground cover. In winter it benefits from a tidy cutback to refresh the plant for the coming season. Hardy and versatile, this ornamental grass adds a soothing, natural element to shaded garden spaces.
