Hakonechloa macra 'HakBri1' 'Lemon Zest' Other names: Japanese Forest Grass Plant Type:ORNAMENTAL GRASS Sun Exposure:Part Sun/Shade Bloom Time:Prized for Foliage Average Size:10-12" x 18-24" (25-30cm x 45-90cm) Cold Hardiness:-20°F to -10°F / -29°C à -23°C (USDA Zone 5) Description:Need an ornamental grass that thrives in deep to part shade? Lemon Zest is one of the lightest and brightest of the Japanese Forest Grasses. Slender, bamboo-like leaves form a bright, cascading mound of foliage that flutters in the slightest of breezes, providing graceful movement and a look of elegance in the garden. Green as it emerges, the foliage transitions to brilliant chartreuse with yellow and ivory white striping. Full sun exposure reduces the contrast of the variegation. A great accent plant for small gardens, in containers or groupings. Photo: Courtesy of Maple Leaf Nurseries
