メリニス ‘サバンナ’

夏の終わりから秋にかけて、淡い紅色の穂をふわりと浮かべるメリニス ‘サバンナ’。細くしなやかな葉と、霧のように広がる穂姿が特徴の観賞用グラスです。風を受けるたびに繊細に揺れ、庭全体に柔らかな空気感を与えてくれます。

特に朝露や夕暮れの逆光に照らされた姿は美しく、穂がほのかに発光するような幻想的な景色をつくります。宿根草や他のグラス類とも調和しやすく、ナチュラルガーデンやメドーガーデンに軽やかなリズムを生み出します。

乾燥に比較的強く、水はけの良い場所を好みます。単体でも美しいですが、群植すると野原のような柔らかな景観が生まれ、季節の移ろいをより豊かに感じさせてくれる植物です。

Melinis nerviglumis ‘Savannah’

Melinis nerviglumis ‘Savannah’ is a graceful ornamental grass admired for its soft pink flower heads that appear from late summer into autumn. Its fine, arching foliage and mist-like plumes create an airy texture that moves beautifully with the wind, bringing lightness and softness to naturalistic plantings.

When illuminated by morning dew or evening backlight, the delicate flower heads seem to glow, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere in the garden. It combines effortlessly with perennials and other grasses, making it especially valuable in meadow-style and natural gardens.

Relatively tolerant of dry conditions, it prefers well-drained soil and sunny locations. Planted in groups, it forms a gentle, flowing landscape that captures the changing light and seasons with remarkable elegance.
