Hakonechloa Macra Sunflare (‘Habsfl007’) | 9cm Pot

A great grass for a pot. Position: prefers a cool, moist environment in sun or part shade Soil: moist, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: slow, non-invasive Flowering period: August – September Hardiness: fully hardy Emerging each spring a fresh chartreuse-yellow, the foliage soon develops contrasting deep crimson tips, and as the season progresses the colours become richer – particularly when grown in full sun. In smaller gardens, Hakonechloa Sunflare is a great grass for a pot, but if there is room, try planting it in generous drifts – or use it to line the edges of a path for a jaw-dropping display. Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost into the planting hole. Leave flower heads to dry out through the winter, adding valuable texture to plantings. Apply a light mulch (3cm) of well-rotted garden compost after cutting back old foliage and before new growth emerges in spring.
