Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron' - Japanese Blood Grass 24-Pack
The Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron', also known as Japanese blood grass, is a striking ornamental grass with vibrant red-tipped leaves. This hardy plant starts green at the base, gradually turning deep red at the tips as the season progresses, adding a bold splash of color to any garden. Ideal for borders and containers, it grows to about 40-60 cm tall and requires minimal maintenance. Perfect for adding a unique, colorful touch to your garden!
Key Features
- Vibrant Red Foliage: Green blades with crimson-red tips that intensify throughout the growing season, reaching peak burgundy color by fall
- Compact Growth: Reaches 40-60 cm (12-24 inches) tall with a clumping, upright habit that won't spread aggressively
- Versatile Planting: Excellent for mass plantings, garden borders, container gardens, and as accent plants in mixed perennial beds
- Hardy & Low-Maintenance: Drought-tolerant once established, deer-resistant, and requires minimal care beyond annual pruning
- Year-Round Interest: Provides color from spring through fall, with dried foliage offering winter texture
Growing Conditions
Japanese Blood Grass thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts to various well-drained soil types. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, then reduce watering as the plant becomes drought-tolerant. Plant 18 inches apart for mass plantings or use individually as striking focal points. Cut back old foliage to ground level in late winter before new growth emerges.
Landscape Uses
This ornamental grass works beautifully flanking entryways, edging pathways, or creating dramatic color contrast in mixed borders. The clump-forming growth habit makes it ideal for container displays on patios and balconies. Use in groups for maximum visual impact, or plant as specimens where you want to draw attention. The root systems help stabilize soil on slopes while providing stunning color.
24-Pack Value
This bulk pack of 24 plants allows you to create impressive mass plantings, line entire borders, or fill multiple containers. Each plant arrives in a 9cm recyclable growing pot at 10-25cm height, ready to establish quickly in your garden.
