Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron' commonly known as Japanese Blood Grass is a spectacular, highly structural ornamental grass prized for its unmatched, fiery color display. It forms a neat, upright clump of narrow, blade like leaves that emerge bright green at the base with translucent cranberry-red tips in spring. As the seasons progress, the intense red color bleeds downward, completely consuming the foliage in a blazing wash of ruby and burgundy by autumn. It is an exceptional architectural selection for adding vertical texture and dramatic color to sunny borders, gravel gardens, Asian-themed landscapes, or modern patio pots.
