Hakonechloa macra 'HakBri1' (Lemon Zest Hakone Grass)

Lemon Zest Hakone Grass thrives in shade, displaying luminous chartreuse-to-lemon foliage with delicate ivory striping that creates visual interest in dim garden spaces. Reaching 18 inches tall and spreading 24 inches wide, its gracefully cascading habit produces subtle movement and sound as wind passes through the fine blades. Exceptionally versatile, it performs admirably in mixed plantings, container gardens, and as a ground cover, while demonstrating notable resilience to urban pollution and black walnut toxicity. Its deer-resistant nature makes it a reliable choice for challenging landscapes where other ornamentals struggle.
