Sunflare Hakonechloa is a stunning ornamental grass that stands out with its golden yellow foliage accented by bold burgundy-red streaks. This unique variety was discovered as a shoot mutation of Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold' and offers vibrant color that changes throughout the seasons. In full sun, the foliage maintains its golden-yellow hue, while in lower light levels, it takes on chartreuse tones, and the burgundy highlights become subtler.
Maturing at a height of 30-45 cm tall with a 45-60 cm spread, it has a compact, upright to mounded habit, making it perfect for containers, garden borders, or landscaping. In mid to late summer, it produces airy, terminal panicles of pale green and red spikelets, though these blooms are not considered horticulturally significant.
As the season progresses, Sunflare provides beautiful fall color with hues ranging from green to red-purple and yellow-orange, adding a final burst of color to your garden.
Sunflare Hakonechloa is a striking and easy-care choice for those looking to brighten up their landscape with vibrant foliage that evolves beautifully over time. Perfect for those seeking a low-maintenance, high-impact plant with seasonal interest!
