Grasses are an indispensable element of any garden. Their delicate ears or fluffy panicles give flower beds a light and natural look.More and more often attention is paid to their leaves - narrow and slender are appreciated primarily for filling the space between flowering plants, but nothing prevents them from becoming the main actors in the flowerbed.
Interesting, colorful foliage of some species and varieties decorates the garden throughout the season. The large variety of colors and leaf arrangement of such taxa avoids monotony.Among them we can find gray or white discolored leaves, yellow and even red. Among the most interestingly colored taxa, imperata Imperata cylindrica with erect erect leaves, tinted red, should be mentioned. Its variety 'Red Baron' has particularly bright red leaves.
Hakonechloa Hakonechloa glabra is also a very effective species. The leaves of this species hang cascading. When planted in a larger group, they look like a waving sea.The species looks picturesque on the shores of the rebate.The varieties with yellow discoloration are the most popular: 'Areola' 'Albostriata' or, less known, 'Stripe It Rich'. In addition to its unusual appearance, hakonechloa is one of the few grasses that can tolerate shade well.
