Hakonechloa macra
Hakonechloa macra is a graceful, mound-forming ornamental grass valued for its elegant movement, soft texture and flowing habit. Its arching fresh green foliage forms a cascading mound that sways gently in the breeze, bringing a naturalistic feel and refined structure to shaded areas of the garden.
Perfect for woodland-style planting schemes, this beautiful grass excels when used to soften the edges of paths, borders and containers. It is equally effective beneath trees and shrubs, where its fountain-like habit creates contrast against bolder foliage plants.
Hardy, reliable and easy to grow, Hakonechloa macra thrives in moist, well-drained soil and dappled shade. Its exceptional garden performance and ornamental value have earned it the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
