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.
