Imperata Cylindrica 'Red Baron' (2 Litre)
Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron', also known as Japanese Blood Grass, is a striking ornamental grass prized for its vibrant red-tipped foliage that intensifies in colour as the season progresses. This deciduous, clump-forming grass adds bold contrast and texture to borders, containers, and prairie-style plantings. Its upright growth and fiery hues make it a dramatic addition to any garden, especially when planted in groups or alongside contrasting green foliage.
