Description
Japanese Forest Grass is an ornamental grass native to moist mountain and woodland areas in central Japan that thrives in part to heavy shade. The slender, bamboo-like leaves form a softly cascading mound that sways in the slightest breeze, providing a graceful movement and an elegant look in the garden. The foliage of Beni Kaze Japanese Forest Grass is bright green in spring and summer, but develops red and gold shades when cooler temperatures arrive later in the season. At 12 to 18 inches tall and 3 feet wide, Beni Kaze is a glowing accent in small garden spaces and containers and stunning in groupings and mass plantings where space allows. It looks right at home in the shade garden and around garden ponds, streams, and other bodies of water.
