An attention grabber in fall, turning to orange and red tones with the onset of cooler temps. Like the colors of fall maple leaves on a cascading shade-tolerant grass.
Features to Note:

- For a sunny spot
- For a shady spot
General Information:
Hakonechloa are best ornamental grass choice for shade. Likes a moist humusy soil, and good drainage. Offers Oriental appeal to mixed beds providing great highlights for the shady garden. Ornamental grasses cannot be shipped to Oregon, sorry.
Plant Care:
Since golden hakone grass is a slow grower, it will not be necessary to divide for many years. If division is desired it should be done in the spring as new growth develops.
