Bright red, hardy ornamental grass - Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron'
Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron', also known as Japanese blood grass, is an eye-catching ornamental grass that provides a unique color accent in the garden with its bright red leaf tips. At the beginning of the season, the grass is a rich green at the base, while the tips turn an intense crimson over time - a spectacular effect that lasts well into the fall.
Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron' is hardy, but prefers a sunny to semi-shady location with well-drained, slightly moist soil. This low-maintenance ornamental grass reaches a height of 40-60 cm and is ideal for beds, containers or as a contrasting plant in grass beds. A light pruning in spring encourages new growth and keeps the plant vital.
