Imperata cylindrica - Red Baron
A dramatic ornamental known as Japanese blood grass, ‘Red Baron’ forms an upright clump of green leaves that flush brilliant blood-red at the tips, deepening to full crimson by fall. This warm-season grass reaches about 18–24 in tall and 12–18 in wide, offering a compact yet bold architectural statement. Thriving in full sun with moist, well-drained soil, it tolerates drought once established and performs well in containers or confined beds. Deer- and rabbit-resistant, it adds vivid fall color and textural interest to borders, rock gardens, or mixed plantings.
