A perennial plant of the Amaranthaceae family (APG classification: Amaranthaceae). Native to Brazil. When it was introduced to Japan, it was mistakenly believed to be a plant of the Achyranthes genus, and is therefore sometimes called Achyranthes. The stem is upright, 5-15 cm tall, and branches well from the base. There are two types of leaves, a deep red and yellow, which are used to create geometric patterns in autumn flower beds. The flowers are stalkless, with 1-3 small, inconspicuous flowers growing in a head-like shape at the top. It is propagated by cuttings, which are taken from May to July to produce seedlings, which are then densely planted in flower beds in September.

ヒユ科(APG分類:ヒユ科)の多年草。ブラジル原産。渡来時にイノコズチ属(アキランサス属)の植物と誤って伝えられたため、アキランサスとよぶことがある。茎は直立し、高さ5~15センチメートル。基部からよく分枝する。葉は渋い赤葉と黄葉の2種があり秋花壇の幾何模様に利用する。花は無柄で、1~3個頭状に頂生するが、小さくて目だたない。繁殖は挿木により、5~7月、挿芽して苗をつくり、9月に花壇に密植する。 [猪股正夫 2021年2月17日] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
