Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron' - Japanese Blood Grass
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 of Red Baron Grass
This bulk pack of 48 plants arrives in 9cm recyclable growing pots, with each plant measuring 10-25cm in height at delivery. The distinctive red coloring intensifies throughout the growing season, creating a dramatic color gradient from green bases to crimson tips. As a hardy perennial grass, Red Baron thrives in full sun to partial shade conditions and adapts well to various soil types.
Growth Characteristics
Japanese blood grass reaches a mature height of 40-60cm, making it an ideal mid-height accent plant for garden borders, mass plantings, or container arrangements. The upright growth habit and clumping nature allow for easy maintenance and control. Unlike some ornamental grasses, Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron' maintains its compact form without aggressive spreading.
Garden Applications
With 48 plants included, this bulk quantity is perfect for creating impactful garden displays, establishing continuous borders, or filling large landscape areas. The vibrant red foliage provides exceptional contrast against green plantings and works beautifully in contemporary and traditional garden designs. These plants excel in mixed perennial beds, rock gardens, and as container specimens on patios and decks.
Care Requirements
Red Baron grass requires minimal maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to develop a strong root system. The plant tolerates drought conditions well after establishment. Cut back old foliage in early spring before new growth emerges to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage vigorous red coloring.
