Hakonechloa macra (Japanese Forest Grass/Hakone Grass) moist but a little shorterThis slow spreading perennial grass forms loose cascading mounds that provide wonderful textural contrasts with other shade loving plants. It has green leaves which have a bamboo look about them and grows 24" in height. The foliage arches over, with the leaves tending to flow in the same direction, which reminds you of a cascading waterfall. Sunlight Requirements: Partial Shade to Full Shade USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 8
