Planting Tips ⓘ

To help Hakonechloa macra types settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in partial to full shade in rich, moisture-retentive, well-draining soil. Hakonechloa macra varieties (Japanese Forest Grass) is prized for its elegant, cascading, waterfall-like habit, making it an exceptional choice for brightening up shady woodland gardens or containers. Unlike many other grasses, Hakonechloa will scorch and lose its vibrant color if exposed to harsh, direct afternoon sun. It performs best with consistent moisture and protection from strong, drying winds. It is slow-growing and requires minimal maintenance; simply cut back the old foliage to the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
