Hakonechloa

Hakonechloa - Japanese Forest Grass

Hakonechloa is one of the most beautiful ornamental grasses suiting a wide variety of uses. A few plants planted together will after a few years form a nice carpet. Hakonechloa is also ideal for planting along a path or driveway. In a more modern garden these plants will also catch the eye, or just plant some in pots. Once you get to know Hakonechloa, you will discover how useful they can be in your garden. The foliage of some cultivars colours beautiful in autumn. Hakonechloa likes a spot in fertile, normal to moist soil. The varieties of Hakonechloa with a lot of yellow or white in the leaves prefer some shade and the green varieties will take the full sun as long as the soil is moist enough. Hakonechloa combines with many plants, for example blue Hosta, dark leaved Heuchera, Persicaria affinis and ferns.
