Hakone Grass also known as variegated Japanese reed grass.
Plant type: Ornamental grass
Hardiness: USDA Zones 6 (with protection) to 9
This
shade-tolerant hakone grass has graceful, yellow-striped leaf blades
which cascade in a fountainlike form (all the leaves face the same way).
Native to the Hakone region of Japan, this deciduous grass has a
bamboolike appearance. It grows to 12 to 18 inches tall and about as
wide; slow-growing habit.
How to use it: In masses, in
containers or as a specimen plant in the shade garden. Plant this grass
where it can cascade gracefully over a short rock ledge or small slope.
Combine with other shade-loving plants, such as hostas, ferns or
tricyrtis, or use it as an accent by itself.
Culture:
Prefers partial to full shade. Variegated selections will have more
prominent color with more sun; chartreuse in shade. Requires abundant
moisture during its initial spring growth cycle, but make sure the soil
is well-draining. Propagated by division.
Special Notes: Slow-growing ornamental grass for the shade garden. Valued for its brightly colored foliage that has a cascading habit.
