Anthoxanthum nipponicum
Anthoxanthum nipponicum is a cool-season ornamental grass best suited for rock gardens, alpine plantings, or naturalized areas with well-drained soil and partial to full sun. It requires minimal maintenance once established, needing only occasional watering and a light trim in early spring to encourage fresh growth. This grass is rarely available in mainstream nurseries and is best sourced from specialist alpine or native plant growers.
