Love this whole Genus of plants, I have two different species and a couple of different varieties in my back yard.

I find them easy to grow - in general, they like moist, humusy, well-drained soils in part shade, but at least one variety prefers to grow in full shade. About the only real maintenance I do occurs in very late winter (March), where I cut back the dead leaves to just an inch or two from the clump.

I would not call Hakonechloa a grass, but rather they are more like small well defined shaped bamboo ... a lot less aggressive, but yes they do slowly spread via rhizomes. After a couple of years, you can also cut the clump in half and transplant to a new area.

They do not have "flowers" in the traditional sense (colorful, well displayed), but rather the flowers are very small, can be yellow to light green in color and are found within/between the leaves.
