Imperata Red Baron (Pot Size 2L)

Imperata cylindrica ‘Red Baron’, commonly known as Japanese Blood Grass, is a captivating ornamental grass renowned for its vibrant red-tipped foliage. Emerging with green blades in spring, the leaves gradually transition to a rich crimson hue from mid-summer, intensifying as the season progresses .
This deciduous perennial forms upright clumps, reaching up to 50 cm in height and spreading to about 30 cm, making it an excellent choice for adding vertical interest to garden borders, rockeries, or container displays . Its vivid colouring provides a striking contrast when paired with plants like silver-leaved Artemisia, purple Heuchera, or blue Festuca.
While ‘Red Baron’ may occasionally produce silvery flower panicles in late summer, its primary appeal lies in its dramatic foliage. For the most intense coloration, plant in full sun and well-drained soil.
