Japanese Blood Grass 'Red Baron' - 40 Plant Bulk Pack
The Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron', commonly known as Japanese blood grass, features vibrant red-tipped leaves that create a bold visual impact in any garden setting. This hardy perennial grass starts with green foliage at the base, with the upper portions gradually transforming to deep crimson red as the growing season progresses.
Growth Characteristics
This clump-forming ornamental grass reaches a mature height of 40-60 cm and spreads to a similar width. Each plant arrives in a 9cm recyclable growing pot at 10-25cm height, ready for planting. The upright, blade-like leaves provide texture and movement throughout spring, summer, and fall, with the red coloration intensifying in warmer months and deepening to burgundy before winter dormancy.
Planting and Care Requirements
Japanese blood grass thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts to most well-drained soil types. Space plants 18 inches apart on center for mass plantings or use individually as accent specimens in borders and containers. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, this drought-tolerant grass requires minimal maintenance.
Landscape Applications
This 40-plant bulk pack provides excellent value for larger landscaping projects. Use Japanese blood grass to create dramatic borders, define garden edges, or add striking color contrast in perennial beds. The compact growth habit makes it suitable for containers, patio plantings, and front-of-border positions. Plant in groups for maximum visual impact or use as specimen accents throughout your landscape.
Maintenance
Cut back foliage to ground level in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any all-green shoots that appear to maintain the distinctive red coloration. This warm-season grass rarely flowers, but if flowering stems develop, remove them promptly.
Please note: Plants are living products and may differ from photos and descriptions. We grow naturally and only intervene when necessary, which can sometimes cause minor imperfections. These often recover in your garden. We guarantee vigorous, long-lasting plants supplied in recyclable growing pots and shipped directly from our nursery.
