Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you sow.

Why does Kochia change from green to red?

The foliage is green through summer and can change to crimson-red in autumn, creating seasonal variation in the plant's appearance.

Can Kochia be used as a temporary visual screen?

Yes. Temporary screening is specifically listed as a suitable use for its upright, mounding growth.

How does Kochia compare with a conventional hedge?

Kochia is an annual rather than a permanent woody hedge, so it provides seasonal structure instead of year-round hedge coverage.

Can Kochia be shaped in a container?

Yes. Patio containers are listed as suitable, and the care guidance recommends light trimming when a compact bushy shape is desired.

What spacing is suitable for a row of Kochia plants?

The page lists 30–40 cm between plants, which can be used when planning a row or grouped planting.

Does Kochia keep the same foliage color all season?
No. The page describes bright green foliage during summer followed by a crimson-red autumn display.
