Japanese Meadow Grass ‘Red Wind’

AKA: Japanese Forest Grass, Hakone Grass

Hakonechloa macra 'Beni Kaze'

I bought this at the 2017 NW plant and garden show in a bag, from Sundquist Nursery. It was starting to sprout so I had to put it in the ground! I have other varieties of the stalwart shade friendly grass. They are lovely, and my only wish would be that they would establish more quickly! On the list of Great Plant Picks.

    This one comes back every year super sparse and sad-looking. I really should remove it, it looks resembles a weed!

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
