Hakonechloa macra 'Mulled Wine'

Hakonechloa macra 'Mulled Wine' brings graceful texture, movement and rich seasonal colour to the garden. This compact Japanese forest grass forms a flowing clump of arching foliage, with leaves combining yellow, pale green and emerald tones before developing increasingly deep burgundy-red colouring as autumn approaches. The cascading habit creates an attractive sense of movement, while delicate flower heads appear above the foliage during summer and remain interesting as the season progresses. Its compact size makes it particularly effective towards the front of borders or in containers, where the changing foliage can be appreciated at close range. The dramatic transition from fresh greens and yellows to wine-red tones gives this ornamental grass exceptional seasonal character. Ultimate height: 45 cm (18 in). Ultimate spread: 60 cm (24 in).
