Naomi Japanese Forest Grass - Hakonechloa - Shade Lover - 2.5" Pot

Excellent fall color sets this new gorgeous forest grass apart from Hakonechloa 'Aureola'. The creamy yellow and green variegated leaves become flushed with reddish-purple tones in fall. The color is most pronounced in cool weather. Tiny, inconspicuous reddish brown flower spiklets appear in airy clusters from late summer thru mid-fall. An elegant, easy shade groundcover. Though this grass does spread by stolons, it is a slow grower and will not rapidly overtake its neighbors. Plant it where it can cascade down slopes, drape over rocks, crawl over the edges of walls, at the front of the garden, or even in containers. Japanese Forest Grass is grown mainly for its beautiful foliage, though it does produce seed heads. Tiny, inconspicuous reddish brown flower spiklets appear in airy clusters from late summer thru mid-fall. Hardy in zones 5-9. Also makes a great bonsai.
