Hakonechloa Macra Albovariegata | 9cm Pot

A sublime foliage plant. Position: partial shade Soil: moist but well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: August – September Hardiness: fully hardy This is an eye-catching small ornamental grass, which forms a cascading hummock of lush green foliage that is attractively striped with creamy white. Happiest in a lightly shaded spot, it looks wonderful when mixed with ferns and hostas, or used to on its own to line the edges of a woodland path. The clean, minimalist style of this grass also makes it a good choice for formal courtyards or minimalist urban planters. 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.
