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.

    Nursery Tag
