Japanese Forest Grass

Hakonechloa macra ‘All Gold’ Japan

   Japanese forest grass grows well in shade and semi-shade, but in full sun it will burn.  Dies back in winter. Grows in a wide variety of soils and is quite drought tolerant as seen from that grown on slopes in these gardens. Zones 5-9.  Spreads slowly via rhizomes with no evidence of seeding from its small, not noteworthy flowers. Deer and rabbits ignore. Also, in variegated green and yellow form (Aureola), and some reddish forms.
