Hakonechloa macra ‘Nicolas’
Hakonechloa 'Nicolas' is a green Japanese forest grass that develops rich summer and fall tints.
Hakonechloa ‘Nicolas’ is an all green cultivar that colours up quickly in the summer and fall with constantly deepening shades of orange, burgundy and red. The cascading foliage resembles falling water which makes it marvelous beside a pond or tumbling out of shade borders. Try combining with darker foliage like burgundy heucheras for a WOW! effect in your shade garden. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
