Description
L'Hakonechloa macra Mulled Wine forme une touffe luxuriante de feuillage retombant en cascades superposées qui confèrent un graphisme intéressant et un réel pouvoir de séduction à la plante. Les feuilles de cette graminée, d'abord jaunes, vert clair et émeraude, prennent peu à peu des colorations rouges de plus en plus foncées jusqu'à devenir presque entièrement bordeaux en fin de saison. Magnifique en couvre-sol, l'herbe du Japon est une plante très tendance, qui se cultive aisément en pot et trouvera une place de choix dans un coin semi-ombragé d'une terrasse.
L'Hakonechloa macra Mulled Wine est une sélection horticole récente de Knoll Gardens Ltd. (Royaume-Uni). C'est une graminée rhizomateuse et stolonifère appartenant à la famille des Poacées. Son ancêtre sauvage est originaire des montagnes du Japon. Cette variété Mulled Wine forme une touffe haute de 40-45 cm et large de 60 cm, composée de chaumes très feuillus, d'abord dressés, puis retombants. L'ensemble évoque un gros coussin ou une sorte de perruque. Sa croissance est plutôt rapide, le feuillage est caduc, absent en hiver. Les larges feuilles se colorent davantage de rouge foncé en fin d'été si la plante est exposée un peu plus au soleil. La floraison a lieu en juillet-août. Les fleurs, disposées en petits épillets minces, n'offrent pas de réel intérêt, mais peuvent être conservées pour l'hiver.
Magnifique en massif, l'Hakonechloa supporte toutes les expositions pour peu que le sol reste frais, par exemple sur les berges d'un bassin. En pleine terre comme en pots, associez cette belle variété Mulled Wine à des hostas, fougères, bergénias ou avec des heucheras colorées qui apprécient les mêmes conditions de culture. Elle donnera le meilleur d'elle-même, utilisée en grand couvre-sol, dans les parties ombragées du jardin, dans un sous-bois clair, contre un mur à l'est, ou encore pour border un massif d'arbustes en sol humifère et frais, auxquels elle apporte de la rondeur et de la couleur.

Planting and care
L'Hakonechloa macra Mulled Wine demande un sol frais à humide, mais bien drainé. Sa préférence va aux sols riches en humus, il redoute le calcaire. Tolérant quant à l'exposition, il supporte l'ombre et accepte le soleil en sol suffisamment humide, mais pas asphyxiant. Un apport d'engrais au printemps stimule la pousse du nouveau feuillage. Taillez votre plante fin février avant la naissance des nouvelles feuilles. Pour la culture en pot, veiller à arroser très régulièrement, si possible à l'eau non calcaire. Il est souvent utile d'ajouter à la terre de rempotage un rétenteur d'eau type grain d'eau.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
