kochia (Brassica oleracea var. acephala)

Kochia is a unique plant that shows brilliant red leaves in autumn. Its round shape and reddish hue create a beautiful landscape. The kochia plant is especially at its best in October, when its color gradually changes from green to red, signaling the arrival of autumn. In the vast kochia fields, the entire area is dyed bright red, creating a spectacular view that looks like a red carpet being spread out. The soft texture of the kochia trees swaying in the wind gives a sense of nature's warmth. It is also a popular photo spot, and its beauty is enhanced by the contrast with the blue sky.
