Keano cloa? Kianucloa? Ceanu kloa?

It really annoys me when they show you plants on Gardeners World and don’t pronounce it clearly or say the name too quickly for you to hear properly!!!! Doesn’t help that I’m a bit deaf. On this weeks GW, Carol Klein visited a garden in Devon and showed us a beautiful grass called [something like] ‘kianu cloa’ (18:03) but I’ve googled it and every single possible spelling...and nothing!!!
Ive taken a screenshot...any ideas please?

Hakonechloa aka Japanese Forest Grass

Thanks for the idea amancalledgeorge, but I’ve got some Hakonechloa and it wasn’t that. See from the pic above that it’s more of a Stipa-type grass than a forest grass.

She was pointing to the grass at her feet when she mentioned Hakonechloa she separately named the much larger grass a few seconds earlier

OK, thanks, so different question: what is the grass in the above picture?
