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. Intense red foliage.
