Hakonechloa macra watch for grass grub Full sun and good drainageStriking foliage in part sun or shade. A great addition to the arsenal of "grasses" available in New Zealand. Hakone grass or Japanese Forest grass. An easy grass that prefers moist soils in shade or part shade. 60cm tall, spreads only slowly.
