This sport of Hakone Grass, introduced by Briggs Nursery, has a cleaner white striping than other white varieigated forms. Cooler tems will bring a pinkish cast to the foliage. Smaller and somewhat slower growing than other Hakonechloa selections at 14", it will slowly form expanding clumps of 2' or more. Most striking when planted en masse.
