Summary
A refined, flowing ornamental grass that thrives where others struggle—especially in shade.
Hakonechloa macra, commonly known as Japanese Forest Grass, forms elegant, arching mounds of soft green foliage that create movement and texture in woodland gardens and shaded borders. Its cascading habit makes it especially effective along pathways, retaining walls, and container edges.
While it produces small summer flowers, the primary ornamental feature is its graceful foliage, which may take on warmer tones as the season progresses. It is well suited for urban environments and tolerant of air pollution.
Care
Hakone Grass Care
Plant in partial shade to full shade. Avoid strong afternoon sun, particularly in warmer zones, to prevent leaf scorch.
Prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment and during extended dry periods.
Apply a slow release fertilizer in early spring if additional vigor is desired.
Cut back foliage to approximately 3–4 inches above ground in late winter or very early spring before new growth emerges.
Propagation is best achieved by division in spring.
