Description

This plant, when introduced into the US in the mid-nineties, created a sensation. For example, the University. of Arkansas published a paper on it saying, that it had created much excitement amongst gardeners, especially..since it is... uniquely beautiful, long-lived and well behaved. Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra Aureola) is just such a plant.

This beauty grows naturally on mountainside cliffs on Japans main island, and in American gardens, reaches only 8 or 12 inches. It spreads very slowly, by underground roots, as clumps enlarge.

Comments about American Meadows Japanese Forest Grass Aureola:

very slow growing. Only came up about 3 inches for the whole Summer. I hope it comes back next year. Maybe once it gets a good start it will grow better.
