Description

1 × Imperata cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ – Japanese Blood Grass – 3 L Pot (Approx. 70 cm tall)

Add brilliant architectural drama to your garden with this dazzling Imperata ‘Red Baron’, featuring intensely crimson-edged foliage that becomes more vivid as the season progresses.

Key Features:

Pot size: 3 L (well-established root system)

Height (including pot): Approximately 70 cm—mature and ready to impress

Condition: Bold, healthy, and thickly rooted for immediate impact

About Imperata ‘Red Baron’:

Eye-catching foliage: Leaves emerge green, developing vibrant cranberry-red tips that deepen as the season unfolds

Size: Clump-forming, upright habit reaching 30–45 cm tall and wide

Ideal growing conditions: Thrives in full sun (for best color) but tolerates partial shade; prefers moist but well-drained soil; drought-tolerant once established

Maintenance: Very low—just cut back dead foliage in spring; remove any reverted green growth to maintain vibrant appearance

Hardiness: USDA Zones 5–9 (durable through cooler winters with a spring cleanup)

Garden use: Excellent as a focal point in borders, rockeries, containers, or massed plantings; deer-resistant and visually striking

Why This Specimen Stands Out:

Instant garden impact—no waiting for growth

Stunning red-tipped blades make it an unforgettable visual highlight

Low maintenance—easy to care for, with dramatic results

Versatile—striking in containers or as ground-level structures
