Hakonechloa macra is a deciduous, grassy shrub that has a vast amount of bright green leaves. This eye-catching feature will begin to form in Spring and follow through into the Summer months. In the warmer months of the year, green flowers will also be added into the equation. Then, in Autumn and Winter, a red-brown tint will show from the foliage, bringing a difference to its appearance later in the year. Hakonechloa should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and exposed to full sunlight. Water the plant frequently so that growth is maintained consistently but, most importantly, avoid overwatering the plant as this will cause adverse effects in the long term.
