Imperata 'Red Baron' (Pot Size: 11cm)
Imperata ‘Red Baron,’ also known as Japanese Blood Grass, is a standout plant on our nursery collection, cherished for its striking foliage and its bold visual impact. This ornamental grass features slender, upright blades that transition from green at the base to a fiery crimson red at the tips, creating a stunning display of colour that intensifies as the season progresses.
Our horticultural team loves Imperata ‘Red Baron’ for its versatility and easy care nature. This deciduous grass is perfect for adding a dramatic splash of colour to your mixed borders, in your contemporary garden designs, or even minimalist landscapes. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil, making it a low-maintenance addition to any garden.
One of the key benefits of ‘Red Baron’ is its ability to provide year-round interest. In Spring and Summer, its vibrant red foliage creates a striking contrast against green plants. In Autumn, the colours become even more vivid, offering a brilliant display before the foliage dies back in Winter. This grass also provides excellent texture and movement, adding a dynamic element to garden designs.
Imperata ‘Red Baron’ pairs beautifully with other ornamental grasses, perennials, and shrubs, particularly those with complementary colours and textures. It’s especially effective in rock gardens, along pathways, or as a focal point in containers. With its bold colours and easy-care nature, Imperata ‘Red Baron’ is a must-have for any garden enthusiast.
