So much attention has been deservedly given to the golden variegated form of the ‘Hakone Grass’, H. M. ‘Alboaurea’ that the merits of the green leaved species have largely been overlooked. Like other forms it is excellent both as a garden plant and in a patio container, where its arching, graceful habit creates waves of foliage all summer, with wispy flowers later and coppery to gold tints in autumn. Trim back dead leaves in March after enjoying winter interest. Best with good drainage, but not too dry.
