Hakonechloa-Japanese Forest Grass



This perennial grass tolerates full sun in foggy areas but really shines in a shady garden. The gorgeous chartreuse foliage really pops and combines well with the species geraniums in purple, magenta shades, as well as Brunnera, Myosotis, Campanula poscharskyana, Cerinthe major. They make a beautiful cascade over a retaining wall.

These grasses like regular water, will grow 1-3 tall and somewhat wider. They go semi-dormant in the winter, and the foliage sometimes turns pink in cool fall weather.

For our Gardener Rewards program members Hakonechloa is on special this month. Visit our Specials page for pricing.
