Plant of the Week - Japanese Forest Grass

Japanese Forest Grass, Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola'
What a graceful, elegant, flowing plant. I never get tired of seeing it especially when it is happy and thriving as these are. That stunning hosta between them is Gold Standard. Now that's a winning combo for part shade! Dogs and cats love to munch on this plant - it must taste as good as it looks.

You've introduced me to a new plant. It's just beautiful! I'm so looking forward to my Oregon visit and the lush green I always find and enjoy there.

Glad you're back and feeling better--I'm discovering you're as good a photographer as you are a gardener.

Hi MarySue,
I think we need to go garden touring when you're in town. Cyn and I can treat you to some Oregon eye candy!
Looking forward to meeting you,
L.
