#ProPlantTips for Care:

Hakonechloa Forest Grass is very hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 9, and grows to a 2-3 foot wide cascading mound only 1-2 feet in height. Thriving in partial shade or morning sun with afternoon shade, these grasses do best in well-drained soil with average consistent moisture. Provide mulch and supplemental moisture during drought. Prune back close to the ground each spring, but be patient while this warm-season grass takes its time to green up in spring.
