Imperata cylindrica Red Baron Japanese Blood Grass - Red Spikes, Green Season
Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron' is a dramatic ornamental grass renowned for its vivid blood-red leaf edges and late-summer flower spikes. The striking color intensifies on new growth and gradually softens to a rich green as the season progresses, delivering bold contrast in borders and containers.
Plant it in a mixed perennial border for maximum impact or use as a focal accent in sunny beds or patio displays. The foliage dies back in winter, with fresh growth emerging again in spring, ensuring seasonal texture year after year.
Care is simple: this is a sun-loving, relatively drought-tolerant grass that prefers well-drained soil. With proper placement, it provides dramatic color and movement with minimal effort.
- Available in multiple sizes: 9 cm pot, 2 L, 3 L and 7.5 L containers
- Sun-loving plant that performs best in full sun
- Color: blood-red leaf edges and flower spikes in late summer, fading to green later in the season
- Ideal for borders, edging, rock gardens, and container displays
- Dies back in winter; fresh growth appears in spring
- Low maintenance and relatively drought-tolerant once established
