Japanese Forest Grass Care

Japanese Forest Grass, botanically known as Hakonechloa macra, is an elegant cascading grass for shady sites. Its arching foliage comes in yellow, bright green, and variegated hues and develops a red tint in the fall. This grass forms mounded clumps that slowly expand over time. Use it to soften pathways, retaining walls, or container edges. It adapts to a variety of locations.
