Japanese forest grass Albostriata is a true gem for the shady corners of your garden. This elegant ornamental grass comes from the moist mountain slopes of Japan, where it grows in the undergrowth of light forests and on rocky cliffs. Thanks to its cascading growth, it resembles flowing water and brings unparalleled movement and lightness to the flowerbeds whenever the wind blows. The Albostriata cultivar is prized primarily for its striking leaves, which are decorated with longitudinal white stripes on a fresh green background. This color combination can perfectly brighten up even the darkest spots under trees or taller shrubs. Although it is not suitable for cutting into vases, it fulfills its ornamental function in the garden all year round. In autumn, the leaves turn into warm golden and beige shades, creating a beautiful winter effect that stands out even under a dusting of snow. Japanese forest grass is a long-lived perennial that grows more slowly at first, but over the years forms dense and impressive clumps. It requires humus-rich, well-drained soil with plenty of moisture, but does not tolerate winter waterlogging.
