Hakonechloa macra (also known as Japanese forest grass) is a distinctive grass of the genus Hakonechloa for use throughout the garden. Its flowers are insignificant, but its lax, overhanging leaves are of a lustrous pale green that spread to form uniform mats of foliage, which flush orange in the autumn. An easy plant to grow, it will typically spread to 30–45 cm (12-18 in). In sun or partial shade, it prefers good soil that does not dry out.
